What weight line are you useing? And are you putting out 50 ft. of line,,or are you fishing 50 ft. deep? I can get a 1/8 oz jig down to 30 feet, unless the wind is blowing,,the damn is not generating too much water that causes a current, or shutting off generators can cause a upstream current...and when I hook a fish useing 1/8 oz., he may be 30 feet behind my boat..I cannot even imagine trying to fish 50 feet deep with a 1/16 oz jig.
