Anyone ever twitch jigs in the saltwater under a float? I'd never seen it done until I ran into a guy on a MA 10 beach many years ago.
The guy was absolutely slaying humpies. He had a small slip float with about a 2' leader under a small weight and a 1/8 oz jig.
He had his bobber stop maybe 3' above his bobber, so about 5' total leader length. He's cast it out, let it settle then draw his rod back 3-4' and let it settle again and repeat. All the hits were on the drop then the float would bury. I think this could easily be effective for salt coho as well. Might be a good technique for kids as well getting the bobber down visual.

I'm going to try this during the fall coho run on my homewater. I'll use a smallish slip float (maybe one of the weighted ones) with bobber stops above and below the float. That will let me dial in the right depth as well as swing the jig across the current w/o the float sliding all the way down to the swivel. Pitch it quartering up, give it action as is drifts down then swing across the current to the dangle. Always fun trying new things.
