Check the post just above yours. It's really important this time of year to create a mental image of the water column, the temp, and the natural tendency of predators to flair to the side of oncoming boats, if they are near the surface. Based on wind, high and low pressure systems and even changing pressure can cause temperature inversions. If the temp is "right" on the surface then you really should try to work it instead of depth, especially in lower light conditions.
