Default Getting Jiggy With It!

We do quite a bit of bottom jigging when out on the reefs for kings and such.

This year we have had great success on pilchard jigs for muttons.

Anyone here getting jiggy?

I only bottom fish for flounder, drum and trout.

I dont go deep much and the reefs are 15 miles out...plus I dont have a boat yet...
Any ideas on how to catch flounder easier? I cant seem to get the hang of it.
