Downsize and fish a drop shot. I been having great results with a 5" rein's bubbling shaker worm. The tail floats and when you wiggle it in front of a fish they can't stand it. Texas rig it with a 2/0 straight shank hook,no more than 10lb floro. I normally use 15lb braid tied to a small spro swivel to 10lb floro with a mustad grip pin hook down to a 1/4 or 3/8 weight. Play with the leader length from the weight to the hook. A good starting point is 12-18". If fishing around grass a 24" or more leader works best. Don't underestimate the drop shot it catches big fish. For depth I would not fish any shallower than 15 foot.
