Newbie Question - How To Set Up Line Using Squid Jig?

[squidmatt]

Thanks fishyrob and thanks to everyone else that has helped.



Weymouth is quite far from here but I've heard that people catch them from there in winter, I might have to have a look and find out where the stone breakwater actually is.



Also just to be sure, I've got about 15lb line and about a 50lb shockleader, am I okay using the shockleader with my float and the squid jig, or am I best adding some 15lb line to the end of my shockleader to use?



And with regards to making sure the jig is not on the ground and is a few feet off, how can I determine the depth of the water? Or is it just trial and error, until it feels/looks about right?
