hi there I see your from Irvington I live in Brandenburg I fish the river a lot. and I do drift at times. best advice I can give is look for current brakes with deep water use a egg sinker rig 2 to 3 oz egg sinker about a foot leader 5/0 or even bigger size circle hook. at this time of year I use live bait or skipjack. let it hit bottom reel up a few feet and start drifting and keep a eye on your fish finder for depth changes if no luck redrift the hole in a deferent spot in the hole. hope this helps and if the river has a little current in it that always helps:-))
