You're most welcome. BTW, welcome to OFF!
Yep, floating your bait a foot or so above the weed beds is where you want to be.
You could also try that rig, at Huddleston. Maybe the weeds aren't so bad in the winter. And you can use a syringe to pump some air into a worm. It'll help it float. So does a worm / marshmellow combo.
