Green, browns and blues are great color choices for trailers. Zoom super chunks, double tailed grubs, or crawdad imitations work as good trailers.
I like to pitch jigs into cover usually (1/4 to 1/2 oz.). Let it drop to the bottom and pull it slowly through the cover. Make sure to keep letting it drop to the bottom when possible. Bites are pretty easy to detect. A lot of times you will feel them take it, other times they'll run towards you or sideways with the jig. Watch your line.
You can also fish a jig vertically in deep water. I like to use a heavier jig when fishing vertically (3/4 oz.). I'll look for likely spots on my sonar or groups of fish. Drop the jig down and keep it right near the bottom. Make sure to make contact with the bottom, then pull it ever so slight off the bottom. Fish usually bite very soft.
