I've heard of that method for fishing the jetties, Jeff, but not tried it myself. I hope for water that clear, but I'm usually fishing in less than 2' of viz - bait water. At Shelter Cove I've scored some fish on a 5 ounce jig and split tail from the reef's edge at Abalone Point when the water was clear - that's a blast but the conditions that allow it are few and far between.
