I also have kissed a lot of gear goodbye up there much the same way.I think the best way to attack that suspect spot is to have a sacrificial sinker on tied on with light mono and one smallish hook that could bend / break if snagged .Perhaps no 2-3 size hooks.That foul ground is bound to have moki etc and little fishing pressure.Even a float and a single hook suspended the required depth may be the way to go.A kayak with rod holders would be even better.lol
