One thing that wasn't mentioned -- maybe it's understood that you know this -- is to fish up in the water column for AJ.

While my biggest jack came dead on the bottom -- in 300 feet mind you -- you'll get your most hits up above the wreck.

Locate them on your bottom machine and drop to the level where they are hanging. Best trick I've learned for this is to take your rods and a Sharpie marker and mark the line every 50 feet or so. Then you'll have your prescribed depth as it can be tough to judge this for many people trying to figure it.

Combine that with big live baits and you're on. Hang on tight, jacks are mean.
