I presume you mean from the boat then. Best bet is to use a Hopper rig or flying collar rig. They are detailed well with diagrams in the rigs information section of this website. if you need more help post here and i will try my best to give you the information you need.

great help guys!one other thing,i will be using 20lb braid to a shock leader do i tie the leader directly to the boom ?or do i attach a swivel to the leader then lighter line down to the boom?oh yeah,in the diagram you have put on i will be using the bottom pic i think but to attach the wieght to the other end ive been told to clip a paper clip on the wieght.now,do i clip the paper clip straight onto the boom or use a light line(rotten bottom)to attach wieght to the boom?soory for going on guys!

Tie the leader directly to the boom and then clip the paperclip to the boom and attach your weight to that. Personally though I would tie some 10lb or lighter line to the bottom of the boom and then attach a paperclip to that. If the boom is that close to the wreck for the paperclip to release the weight them the boom is also likely to snag it. You only need about 12'' of lighter line as a rotten bottom.
