I will shoot the pontoon boats, only between the floats. Not many fish to be had outside of then. I see no reason to bounce a jig off of the boat at all. It is a pretty wild shot that sends a jig onto a boat cover, or into a boat for that matter. I have spent a lot of time shooting at buckets from distances and angles in order to cleanly put a jig where I want it to go. A jig in a dock line gets pushed through the other side and then the barb cut off so it will slide back out. Fuel or transducer wires hanging down is a no shoot. I have been shooting when 2 fellas showed up and went to bouncing jigs off of everything. I quickly moved on. Didn't want to be associated with all of that.
