I keep a cork handy. If I'm on fish and they quit sometimes they've just moved up the water column. I fished next to a guide one time and I was using the cork, he was using jig. I had been catching fish on the jig all morning, then the tide changed and it seems all the fish came to the surface and I could buy a strike on a jig, but they were hitting it below the cork 18" below the surface. So I think sometimes it's a matter of working the entire water column.
