Any help is appreciated. I have been able to find a few schools but then I struggle to get them to bite and keep the boat positioned on them.

Cool,you’ll love it. Watch how the fish react to your jig, if they don’t react try something different. I have 4 retrieves I try. One will usually get a reaction. Seeing your jig and the fish without moving the transducer means you have the bait close to the fish. Casting accuracy is critical. They won’t move but a few feet to get the bait, but if they react they will follow a long ways.
