Don't restrict yourself into thinking you have to be on the bottom. In certain areas if you do that you will miss all the fish as they hang up in the water column. I usually get 90% of the fish on 3 to 4 colors in 50 to 60 feet of water. Sometimes it is 2 colors, especially at night. That being said that is for the area I fish which has no real structure only dips in the bottom. When I find a school of fish I go in all 4 directions until I get them if I can stay on them. The hard part is staying on them as they are always moving and you have to guess where they are going. I don't find any one direction to be better than another. If you are fishing structure you are better off staying near the bottom.
