In the heavy current I let em run for a while till I get scared. Then I cup the school for a bit. If it is a big fish in big current, there is nothing left to do but tighten the drag once you know they are beat and horse them in. Keep em on top so you can see the giant wake. If you let em dig they'll screw you on the bottom break you off or keep taking line. If you have the ability to chase them down the bank, that is a different story. I don't like to give them chit. They will abuse you. Then again what do I know? I am still searchin for my 50, and I'm pretty sure I have blown my chance more than once in big current.

If everything is open and the structure you want to cover is at 11-2 o'clock that is fine.........but what if the structure is up tide and you can't move, or straight downtide of you? Or the rip boils up from 15ft to 5 ft over a shelf and the fish are on the shelf? How do you manipulate jigs to cover those situations? I run into them all.
