The bigger 5lb girls were out deeper in the 14-16 ft areas where eel grass met rocks not far off from giant boulders. Here drop shot was effective, however a slow grind. For more aggressive action from smaller fish between 1-3 lbs, moved in shallow between 4-8 ft around the rocks throwing a smaller jig with craw legs.
