Wouldn't a rubber core sinker still get caught on the bottom? When I cast upstream it washes to shore,is this normal? Do I just cast upstream,let it drift,reel,cast upstream rinse and repeat?

Thats why ur usin lighter rubber core sinkers instead of heavier banks.That technique I save for around the slack.If ur usin 1 oz U have to cast upstream to get it down.once it ticks down u can let it rest it will mpre that likely pop off or u can like i said "fish it".That is reeling as i comes towards u till it goes by keeping contact with what is going on.Till it sweeps by u an it should stop.It will hold till the pressure builds up then it'll pop off an u have to reel it in.Fishing the bottom at the ditch u lose rigs.It goes with the territory.
