water depth

It seems that the only time a person catches fish is when they are in 25 to 30 feet of water. Can anyone shed some light on this as to why?

That's not always true, my best fishing is usually deeper than that. 4 of us got 150 last Saturday in 32ft. Only two that were smaller than keeper size for me, unfortunately only 1 over 2lbs for the group. Still more 16-18" saugers than I've ever seen, didn't even keep a walleye since you new you'd catch eater size saugers for the pan. This was near LP, but other places the depth is different, deeper isn't always best, getting away from the group and the noise is usually best, not necessarily depth.

I've fished with the folks at Riverbend the past 4 years and they keep moving the houses to stay on fish. I had luck with them from 18-32'. My theory is once the season starts to progress you wil see more and more fish migrate to the basin and deeper water. That doesn't mean there are not shallow fish, I believe that some fish never leave the shallower water. But I do believe fish start to move and will then roam the deeper flats or basins in this case. Just my thoughts and 2 cents worth. good luck, hang on. Bill
