Setting up a rod with wire line

You ever jigged Boston Harbor ?

1, you can't jig 200+ ft wire is Boston Harbor, it's not like the Cape and bouncing sand, you bounce rocks and every other obstruction!!!
2, I've only been to Ptown a few times so far this year, been further south more though!! (chatham )
3, Boston harbor has been very good lately, not a lot of big fish, (though i took a 32# fish last week, not what I consider a big fish, but a good fish for the harbor in late july)
mostly 20 - 25lb fish
sold my 5 fish today with close to a 20lb average

Thats good to hear, wasnt talking about letting all 200yds of wire every time. Let out what is needed, sometimes all 200yds(55ft of water) is needed sometimes 150ft is needed. Just gotta feel it out. Never Jigged in and around rocks, seen a lot of guys do it around the elizabeths. We havent been fishing chatham area at all this year we have been around the islands...
