When colder, casting football heads out into the open water tends to result in more hookups. There are very minute ledges that run several places about 30 feet out from shore. Interested to see if Carolina rigging would work here as well. Never tried as a kid

Ricky- I noticed the jig/lure/bait clearer under the scum floating around with the aid of polarized glasses.
