Hey,

I can give you information on the wire/parachute set-up.

Get your speed down to 2.5-2.75 kts. Let the line out until the jig starts bumping the bottom. You do this by releasing line by controlling the spool with your thumb making sure it doesn't pay out to fast. You can lose it and get a reel/wire ruining overide/backlash. Find the bottom by closing the bail and feeling for the bumping. When you get there start to reel back in until just after it stops. Then start jigging.

This method works in holes and sandbars with current. Speed is critical. To fast and you may just get bluefish.

Good Luck.
