yeah, I don't like to set them too far away cuz I know... I know, that last one way out there will be the one the dink perch keep popping! I usually keep them inside 40 or 50 yards, I often set them in a semi circle pattern around me so I can watch them from my clam while jigging. Sometimes I set them 15 or so yards apart heading in a direction to cover different depths. Whenever I do that though I find that just one or 2 of them ever pop and the others usually just sit there all day.
