Default jigging sea bass

After years of using clams, with and without Gulp, I got persuaded to try jigging. Used AVA 27 and sand eel imitation teaser. Results were great. Was fishing on a moderately crowded party boat and surrounded by guys using clams on various types of rigs. I was casting out, going to bottom, and slow retrieve. after several cranks, go to bottom again, etc. I had more action and caught more (and bigger) keepers, by a wide margin, than the clammers. Interested to hear from experienced jiggers whether this method outfishes clams most of the time or just under some conditions. PS: the party boat I was on was anchored; seems like jigging should work when drifting--opinion?
