Hey Hooper, when you fished those jigs on the charterboat would you troll them and pump the rods up and down, or would you drift?

Hi Quick-
Yes, on the boat I worked for, the crew worked the rods, usually seated from a fishting chair. We used very light wire line, 30lb and two ounce jigs. Generally, we spooled with 150' of wire and came back 12-15 turns on the reels which usually put us in the right spot. Some other boat used strictly 100' of wire and left it there, then fished the rip that way.
I've seen Cape Cod Bay charters jig umbrellas sometimes, but it seems overkill to me. Maybe they're trying to kill the customers? If the fish are there they'll either hit the rigs or not regardless if they're being pulled on....right? Just my school of thought!
