We were casting out and reeling in using a quick snap up about 6-8 inches off the bottom and letting it fall without the line going slack to feel the bites. We caught them all with in the first few reels after casting out and didn't get any hits close to the boat. Maybe try that instead of the slow lifting and dropping. I hope your luck turns around.
Yea that's something we could try. We have just been doing the vertical jiggin both fast and slow. Do they hit hard or very soft? I've heard conflicting reports.
