When the water is stained or fish are holding just off the bottom, I'll use a floating jig head or a northland gumdrop floater. Either technique will generally produce fish in a more aggressive mood. Catching fish on these rigs depends on two things. Bait choice and most importantly, boat speed. This will generally be the indicator for the day on how fast to travel to catch fish.
Live bait rigging is a great way to cover more water quicker and find fish faster.
On the other end of the spectrum from jig fishing is crankin'. Cranks will generally find aggressive fish fast and eliminate unproductive waters equally as fast. They can be fished in variety of ways from planer boards to bottom bouncers. I typically use Reef Runner crankbaits because of the exceptional wobble they produce. I generally long line these cranks, but use boards in shallow and when fish are spooky, like in clearer water.
