Well if it were myself, I always try to run 7-10 feet above the fish in lake erie. It the water is cloudy, I will go to 3-5 feet above them. If you run too close to the fish, they generally won't bite. It's more of a reaction bite you are looking for, so to answer your question, I would not run any extra weight on your harnesses.
Do I need a sinker just ahead of the worm harness?
