Depends on where you are fishing. Ryan at Lanier fishes them slowly
within 3 feet of the surface with an erratic action. He is trying to
make it look like an injured blueback herring. He does us a big bait
- 7 inches or longer.

I understand at Allatoona they fish them more steady on top or just
under the surface, kinda like waking a Redfin.

Some at West Point have had good luck fishing them like a jerkbait.

I don't think there is wrong way to fish them.
