We will be fishing in 20+ feet deep and need to know what lenght leader to tie on. Anyone have any other tips? Deep fishing is not my favorite. Guess I'll adapt.

Taking 5 to the weigh-in occurs when opportunity meets successful execution of one's preparation.

Yea, Wednesday when NOAA said 5-15 and I went, it was 26-30 and rolling on the main lake. Taking 5 to the weigh-in occurs when opportunity meets successful execution of one's preparation.
