During the winter out here in California I fished for Crappie and Bream in about 50-65 ft of water. I did a technique the call cannon balling. Tie about 3 or 4 jigs onto your line and let them fall. You'll hit a few different depths and quiet a few times hook up with more then just one nice fish. I also tipped the jigs with wax worms or meal worms.
