Great to use bell sinkers and just let them sit on the bottom with your tension low so when they run you can grab it right away. We caught a lot of sheepshead and big bass on the other side of the boat landing right at the top of the incline. Only thing I have to say was bad is we lost a few lines on the bottom but for the most part if you keep pulling hard like handlining it comes out even though it feels like it’s going to break. So much fun. Great foot being your dogs and wonderful place to bring kids fishing too. Great environment.
We fished right by one of the bridges and caught 6-7 Northeren w the biggest 30” and most around 17”-23” which is still fun. Lots of bluegills and perch and a few largemouth and a smallmouth in only 2 hours during a cold front so it should be better with better weather.
