Try using a floating jig head type rig, to get them swimming just above the growth and bottom.

If your in the river and know what your depth is, try the following, no matter how bad it sounds.... If your in 7' of water, place a float/bobber with a 6-6.5' leader on it. Float the crab just above the bottom and see what happens. I would have never thought I would catch fluke on a bobber, but I cant argue with the old salts and how they do it. I see guys doing this here in Barnegat Bay often with great results. I think it may give the crab a more natural look.
