I was using a pop up about a foot under the surface in 7ft of water. Not tried artificial as I don't have confidence in them, maybe I should but still no luck on the zig. Gave up with it last weekend and dropped in a bottom bait. Within 3hrs I had banked 2 PB's in a row. Maybe zigs aren't for me after all.

It sounds like you were probably too high in the water with your zig.
You might have had more success lower, say 2 or 3 ft down or even further as you picked up some off the bottom.
I've had my best morning on a tricky lake with a bait about a foot or two off the bottom when the water was cool and clear.
I often use a fine 8.5lb line for lower visibility if the situation allows and especially if I'm high in the water.

Or they were clearly feeding on the deck. Use zigs when you need too, not just because.
