No way around taking the chnace with the jig to test the bottom. You need to send one out there and feel around. You can try controlling the depth and find the bottom slowly and see if you can get a feel for it instead of just letting it sink to the bottom and possibly getting hung up.
I have bare jigs for this kind of condition. maybe you lose it but its only a bare jig costing maybe 60 cents and no work put into tying the bucktail on it.
