Set my pots out last night for the overnight soak because the tides are so bad during the day this week. Picked up about a dozen keepers and out of them picked my limit of real nice dungees. Glad to see there are some left.

I was pretty deep, 80-100 feet. Has anyone been doing good shallower? I've heard that the 30-40 foot depths have been real productive. Seems like you would be less likely to lose pots in shallower water with big tides.???
