I was fishing in about 30 ft. And using a large jig with no tail stuff like hair, rubber frills etc., just strung on a smelt. Just so they wouldn't steal the smelt, I took a shelled hook with a mono leader and tied the leader to the jig eye and put the shelled hook through the smelt's tail. Put it down to bottom and bang it on the bottom a few times, then bring it up about 3" and hold still, then repeat! Bang! Set the hook!
