In the heavy current we try to anchor up just outside of the brutal currents in the shipping channel. We then send our weights out with our "dog" setup (another rod with a crabpot float and a downrigger clip) to the edge of the channel and let 'em go. We have been fishing in 65-90' of water. Last weekend it took 3-4 lbs of lead to keep a whole shad on the bottom.

But I guess that you can find these fish in any water. We just like deep water and big bait. It has worked well for us.
