Any help would be great

i can usually get away with a half ounce, but i have 3/4 on hand. depending on the day (sunlight, wind ripple, etc.) they can be anywhere from 20-70' or deeper...everyday seems to be different. They shallower they are the easier it is to target them properly so i start at 20-30' spots and work my way deeper if i don't see fish or they aren't biting.
