Good advice. Drop shot rigs can be good around the bridge in low current situations too. It's considered an old-school technique by some of the guys I've fished with.
That same method - putting the sinker on the bottom and the bait up the line then dropping right down beneath the boat - is killer for live-lining high-current areas. Essentially, you're using the sinker to bounce along bottom so it doesn't hang as easily, and the bait swims up free and right in the strike zone. In my talks this spring I'm showing video of that technique in action.
