My best advice is try dropshotting......It works........and easy to get the hang of after a few tries....once you feel a bump in your line or weight on the line , the fish is on....it's that easy...just like regular jigging,but works better for me........I hate deep water fishing myself(anything over 15 fow is considered deep in my book) , BUT, sometimes you have to in order to catch fish......good luck dropshotting!!!
