It is a strange year. Been hitting some deep brush lately with little results.
Best results have come near trees(Not necessarily in the trees)in the 20'+ range. Been casting the jig and letting it go to the bottom then VERY slowly steadily retrieving it. Some are hitting it hard and some are just sucking it in and the line gets heavy.
Also been getting some nice channels doing this.
Another thing that is working is vertical jigging when I see them on the locator.
