just enough line
to suspend it from the weedbed/bottom. no good leaving heaps of line out and it gets weeded......

depends
depends. if ur drifting then basiccly any distance is good just make sure the jig is heavy enough to stay about half way down(2.5-3.5). Distance from ur boat doesnt really matter as u can have ur jig within 3m of ur boat and ull still get squid. but if there is weed floating around then it might become a lil tricky. if u are not drifting but anchored then let ur line slowly drift out deeper and put it on a float with the jig fairly close to the bottom.

you didnt hear this from
you didnt hear this from me. but if you tye a jig to a float with some line throw it over the patch they'll hit it soon enough. i was told if your fishing shallow water dont drive over the ground you intend to drift you'll scare them off. i leave one drifting on a hand line and cats the other one in any direction working it up and down they normally get on the way down. good luck
