how do you set up your vex?

[MACHINIST]

D you drill a separate hole or just use the same hole your fishing out of?I was thinking that in deeper waters that I fish i could drill three holes and have the vex set up in the middle of my deadstick hole and my jigging hole.How do you guys do it?

machinist, usually I use the vex in the same hole I am fishing, but before, when using two rods for lakers (because the lakers come to the area by the jigging, but don't like the jigging and hit the still pole instead) I have put the vex in the middle hole. That is drilling 3 holes in a straight line, and having the vex in the middle and both your poles on either side. It works and you can see both lures with your vex. This is a good option especially if you want to monitor two poles, if the fish are nonaggressive you can draw them in with one and they will hit the other. usually though, I use the vex in the same hole I have my jig rod in.

I use it in the same hole at all times. If I hook into a fish that twists and rolls a lot, especially a laker, but most any large trout or walleye, I just have someone near me come over and pull out my transducer, and I do the same for them if they get a hook up. Bending down to pull out the ducer often gives a fish slack line and they spit the hook. Still though with a hard fighting trout you often have to or you'll get a tangle.
With the 9 degree cone, which I use in water 15 feet or more almost 90% of the time, you will see out about 4 feet in 20 feet of water and a wee bit more as the water gets deeper.
