Yea pretty much, usually though if you are bottom fishing it on a reef, some rock pile or a wreck. You would anchor up single if you had the right current, or double anchor if changing a lot and let rode out to your floating marker and you can get away with a lot less weight of course.
with them flatties you can fish like that but most times you will be doing a drift over them or putting a hoping mad cocktail blue on a weighted line on a wreck, for the drifting which is the most usual up here you have to cover a lot of ground as they are constantly moving early in the season food wise and later around early July the big boys generally start heading out into deeper water and you have to locate them, again covering a lot of water.
