Look for them on the finder at that depth - they will bite all day even in that heat. Other small hooks will work too.

You can handline which is super fun, but at that depth it sucks a little bit. So use a super senditive ice fishing rod/reel. Other small hooks will work too if mine dont work.

Oh ya - obviously a foot off the bottom, maybe little more, maybe little less. Good luck man. Which lake are you hittin up?

Good luck!
What else do you look for at 25-30 ft? structure? rock bottom? sand bottom? drop off? weed line?

The ice fishing rod is a great idea...thanks for that!
