MikeTLive, like JohnR said, use a chain weight if you are in shallow water. If you are fishing in deeper water say 25 ft or so then you want to us lead core line or wire line. For every 100 ft you put out you will go down 10 ft in the water collum so watch your fishfinder and see what depth you are marking fish then let the line out accordingly.
If you want to fish Boston Harbor, try putting in at the Weymouth back river ramp. It is a no wake most of the way out so you won't get swamped like that, just watch you depths there and stay in the channel at low water.
