Watch some of the vids of lads fishing rainbow, they do exactly that kind of thing. Sometimes using banksticks to go round and over islands too. You'll need a boat to do it , a d probably need to go out in it to play fish if it's that bad

a bottle rig type of set up, and you can tighten down to it to semi submerge a smaller bottle, or fully submerge a smaller float.

Zigs work bottom to top with a vertical line and some have a sunKen float attached to them
Don't think the fish are that worried.

I fish a lake full of zebra mussel covered rocks and am thinking about using a float ledgering set up to keep as much line out of the water as possible but am concerned about the vertical line running from the float to the lead will spook the carp. Also, I am concerned this set up will reduce the bite indication allowing the carp to drag the line into the mussels. Any thoughts on or experience with this type of set up?
