I know it all depends, but typically i have been
letting it hit bottom, and popping it every other reel and letting it sink back til i feel bottom. Am i in the ballpark?
Also, when isee little pogies splashing out of water in bucnhes like somethin chasing them, i would think its better to throw a fish-imitation bait (vs. lil jon which seems like shrimp imitation ?) and keep it swimming steadily close to surface, is this correct?

I work them a few ways and mostly depends on water depth ... Over a reef I use a darting motion like you fish Topwater (said above ) or hard pops ..

Get in deeper water I let sink and use tide to work it and adding short pops with rod ...
Once you catch a few you will know how they want it .. Everyday is different and some days they want it fast as you can or slow off bottom like bass fishing a worm ...
Just have to try different techniques until you know how they are eating
