herdsman,

improvise mate - keep it simple - run a no.3 (100 gram) or bigger bean sinker up to a swivel tied to the end of your mainline. from this tie a six to twelve foot (up to you) trace of about twice your mainline poundage with a rig at the end to suit your style of fishing and bait. drag this around slow in a likely place at the depth you figure their at with your drag on strike.

give that a go.

If the fish are not there move on...

Don't wait 3 hrs to work it out, find another spot! Unless of course you are enjoying the beers and company, then hang tight
