TD, last time I tried (without success), I did exactly as your guide says, retrieving at the "five seconds per crank". I lost my rig on every single cast for 15 casts in a row, got no bites, and quit because I couldn't tie any more knots with frozen fingers and eyeballs. To be fair, we were forced to fish from shore, wading out as far as we could and then casting.
Surely there must be another technique that'll work? Some way to do something other than snag up?
Why wouldn't the old fly and bubble work if you put your plastics on a regular hook and sunk your bubble? Couldn't you figure some sort of dropper rig to bounce a little unweighted jig along the bottom? A slip bobber and stop? Is a boat mandatory?
