The proper way to jig

[Fisher-Man]

I have heard a lot of people talking about jigging with a variety of jig types and sizes, however, in all of my fishing experience, I have never really had a lot of luck fishing with these (except when icefishing). I was under the impression that they needed to be bounced off the bottom, but some weights arn't heavy enough to get to the bottom. I want to go to the berry this weekend and I would like to try my luck with jigging from the shore and I want to know the best method.
