I fished lake st clair where we were fishing in 2 feet of water for perch crappie and gills, I have fished canals that suport 3-5 feet of water under the ice with only a couple feet from the ice to the decaying weeds. I fished lakes where the fish on some days will be at 8 foot depth and others at 25 feet deep and others any where in between.
if you find the area where you get a hit by a gill then you are not far off. blue gills and black bass (large mouthand smallmouth) are in the same family of pan fish. so where you find one the other is not far off. you will just have to look around.
I tend to drill 3-5 holes on any given day to work my two lines out of. One set with a minnow rig and the other with a jig in hand.
