There are very few holes where you should EVER have to back bounce or use a jet diver on the coast. And those holes are ones you need to get straight down right away. 90% of all my fish caught on kwickies have been flatlined! You might want to rethink the water you are fishing instead. After all you did say it was your 1st time, what do you expect? A 20 fish day. Another good thing to do on the coast is let the fish come to you. Anchor in traveling lanes! You could also chalk up your poor result to just a bad day. I wasn't in the boat with you so I dont know what type of water you were fishing, I do however know there are tons of fish available right now. Out of all the O.P. streams I focus the least on the bogy. Watch what other who are catching fish are doing, I bet most of them are flatliners too.
