All good info shared here. Also consider some weight from a jig in a teaser which helps put you down quicker and holds your line down. You don't say if you are using braid or mono. Hopefully braid as it will get you to bottom quicker and also help you feel hits a bit better. I pick up many fish as the line heads under the boat. As Salt says , give it a little extra line to hold the bottom for those couple extra "bounces" and see what it produces for you. To get a bow spot in peak season, plan to get up early. I mean very early. When I fish the OE, there by 4 ish to claim the turf I want which does allow for easier casting and line control......my .02
