What depth to float a baited big?

As close to the ground as you can get it without snagging to often.



Test for the depth using a heavy sinker - once your float stops sinking remove the sinker and attach jig/hook setup.



Keep in mind that sunrise/sunset is when squid actively go on the prowl. Outside of that you basically have to place the jig right in front of them to get a bight - being an oppurtunistic predators. Sometimes there are exceptions to this rule - mostly when there's a lack of food or the squid are in large numbers.
