I do it a lot in winter and will do it in summer also. I use a #6 cricket hook with a Trout Magnet either soaked in anise oil.....or tip it with a very small piece of a Berkeley Power Wiggler. I tie the hook about 2 feet up from the weight. I find where I think they will be and I drift my boat very slowly between .2-.3 MPH dragging the rig on the bottom. If I find them concentrated I just do the more traditional drop shot method of lifting and dropping. The best weights I have found for this are Rickies Snake n da brush.
