  Like 'lung said, you gotta get bottom and be able to hug it without hanging. I usually use 12-16, or 20 if its really ripping. If the current starts lifting your rig during the drift you're missing the fish. I've been out on nights when the drift is so fast it's hard to keep a 20oz down. Out near Fishers at dawn the top water bite is usually pretty good w/ soft plastics. Either at Race Point at the edge of the rip, or on the east side near the green can (Wicopesset), Sugar or Watch Hill reefs.

  4 oz is very light for the race. 8oz jigs would be the lightest I would use.
  
  Were you 3 waying those eels?? You need to get them down to the bottom.
