Ya, when you go to reel in, once you get the sinker/rig dislodged off the bottom, don't stop cranking until it is reeled all the way in, hold the tip of your rod as high as possible and crank the rig in as fast as you can so it never comes close to touching bottom again once it is first dislodged. If you let the rig settle or dip after getting it dislodged you will always loose the rig. Crank it as fast as you can and the rig will come up and stay off the ledge/snags.
When I feel the rig is close sometime I snap it in, so it flys out of the water.
If you got a big ball of weeds on your rig, same thing, put some muscle behind it and crank like a maniac, don't let the rig sink a second time.
Use a sinker thats heavy enough to hold bottom. 5 ounces
even during "slack" tide.
