Nothing to it Hye, I just cast, drop to bottom, then bounce it along with a pump from the rod. It's not rocket science that's for sure. I really don't have much of a technique at all. There are subtle differences when tides slow and get faster, but weight changes usually takes care of that.
If the tide is screaming fast, In the fall I have been known to toss a 5 ounce ball jig with no hair or pork, and kind of swim, tick it along the bottom out as far as I can cast and fish eat it , I guess it's a quick instictive reaction, they think it's food, a crab or whatever, serious, just bare lead and hook, it has less air resistence and goes further.
I have good luck with jigs around 4 oz, and skinjigs about the same, I don't fish sluggos as much as I should, I bet I could do better with them if I used them more often and learn a better technique with those, they seem to float more from their bouancy so they don't need as much of a pop when jigging, also I can't cast them as far.
I need to get back down there, work has kept me away but I'm not complaining.
