It's tough to get hung up in the Upper Bay. I like the shad on the bottom, and I drift with the tide or if needed use the engine to stay with the tide so that I can fish the Tsunami shad with little or no drag on the line from the current.

Once it's down there I just kind of jig it along, getting the tail to thump back and forth by jigging.
