Thanks for all the responses. I think what I do is more of what is referred to here as "Float Fishing". Slowly moving along the shore line and vertically jigging a soft plastic with jig head around the base of cypress trees, lay downs and grass from about 2' to 4' depth. I have begun to learn "dock shooting" and found that this technique works well not only around and under docks, but to get my lure under neath the overhanging branches. For dock shooting, I use a 5'6" ultralight rod with a small spinning reel on it.
