I dont know if this really applies cause I havent caught any over about 8 lbs, but I catch 99% if not more of my swimbait fish on the burn. I pretty much can count the number of fish I have caught sub-surface on 1 hand so everything I catch is on top. It doesnt matter what bait I fish, the Hud, The SLammer, the Tripple Trout, The Eagle and a few others, I fish them as fast as I can get away with without it flying out of the water or diving below the surface depending on the bait. Most of these fish come within inches of the shore to. Thats key!! The fish down here sit in like 5-10 feet and face the shore. When they see a trout running the bank, they crush it. If you have ever seen a trout next to the shore, it is usually hauling butt. Thats what I try and immitate.

Slow and boring doesnt work for me, but thats probably why I dont catch the big ones.
