I usually backbounce out of an anchored boat. Take a pyramid sinker usually a 4 oz. and cut it off about 1/4 in. below the top, rig it with a slip swivel on your main line w/ a 6-8 in. dropper. drop your rig to the bottem and start bouncing it back thru the hole. The previous fella explained the art of bouncing the bait pretty well. But it has always worked better for me if I wait for the fish to pull line out from under my thumb before sockin' it to em. Try it you'll like it!
