Yeah got on a solid jig bite in about 20-25' a couple weekends ago. Didn't catch any giants, but caught several 3's and 4's where we struggled to catch a 14" fish in less than 10'. Catching those fish in 20-25' was horrible.

I'm sure you don't though ........ Come on man, was a joke. I do have my preferences. I’d much rather be pitching those jigs in 3-4’. But if I believe the better fish are in 20+, that’s where I’m gonna fish. Have never caught a fish and said it was zero fun.
