Welcome abouard Tim. Not allot of guys run riggers, but they do catch fish on them. Most run spoons, harnesses or body baits off them when they use them. The more popular way to fish is with inline planer boards as Franks suggested in conjunction with flat lines or lines run horizontal off the corners of the boat with bottom bouncers off them. Commonly used presentations off inline boards or traditional planer boards are inline weights, bottom bouncers or snap weights with a harness trailing behind. Crankbaits are also a good options and baits like Hot N Tots, Reef Runners, Jr. Thundersticks, Shad Raps, Tail Dancers, Deep Husky Jerks. Early on in the season Shallow diving husky's, original raps, bombers and other shallow diving baits take fish. Other options include jet divers, big jon mini disks or even the mini dipseys to deploy spoons and harness etc. And coming stronger and stronger onto the scene every year is lead core. It takes allot of fish. 1-3 colors will serve you well. Ok, i think i got a bunch covered. I gotta get running, so if you have any questions dont be affraid to ask and ill get back at ya. Good luck, have fun, its a terrific fishery.....Adam
