I try to set my sticks just on the bottom, with the fast tip they bounce, however, the deadstick always seems to have the fish set itself. Given the variety of bottom, like you said right on the edge not on the structure, I can keep my jig stick from hanging up more frequently than the deadstick which if I don't watch it will hang. I try to make sure regardless that the weight line is lighter than the main line or rig line.

I also try to make sure I do not have a significant amount of scope and weight. I try to stay between 4 and 8 oz. I also power drift or drift sock it. I have 2 socks on the boat.

I have started experimenting with circle hooks to see if I can get a better set on the deadstick.

Ask a 100 people get a 100 answers!! LOL

So here is mine.

I use a fish finder, swivel, 3 foot leader 30# Floro, 3/0 to 5/0 SS wide gap hook with Squid strips to get going then I use Fluke belly and the top side works well also!!

Fish any were form 15 to 100 feet with enough weight to hold bottom, you must be on the bottom!!

Fish the drop offs, Bass will be in these waters at night!! Fluke in the day!

I got 112 pounds today doing just this!!

Good Luck!
