don't use the dipseys so much, but like has been said the line counters work good once you dial in the right amount of line to hit the active fish. I do it all the time. Use enough weight to get to the bottom and stay there. Generally if waves less than 1 ft 3/4 oz bb, 1-3 ft waves 1-2 oz bb 3+ waves 3 oz bb. You just want enough line so that the bb is skimming the bottom not dragging along the bottom. THe mud it kicks up helps attract fish. I also run long leader worm harnesses, like 4 to 6 ft long. I have found them to work better than the shorter ones, but is a matter of personal choice. Good luck, I am also at meinkes west, b82. ch 68 when fishing.
