[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]We graphed fish from 40 ft on. We saw very few suspended fish. That fish was caught right on the bottom with a T50 flatfish. You're right, downriggers and wire line set ups make deep trolling easier but you can use drop shots or 3 ways with large banana sinkers to troll the bottom to 100 ft plus. You will still need pretty heavy rods/reel set ups to pull it off though. It's like bottom bouncing from walleye, just up sized for macks.[/size][/font]
