I usually don't drill a third hole (we can legally fish 2 rods in Colorado). If the transducer is in the hole with the rod that I'm actively jigging (or at least holding in my hand) and I see a fish swim in, I can quickly move my jig to the depth of that fish and verify it on the screen. About half the time I can catch that fish. With trout fishing through the ice, I usually drill my holes about 30-36" apart, and some days the trout will attack the actively jigged rod, but more often it seems to get their attention and draw them in, but they'll take one of the jigs being fished deadstick.
