What type of retrieve do you use for fishing plastic worms? I've been fishing a Northern Cali lake the past few weeks and have had no success at all. I usually target stripers and halibut in the bay so it its unfamiliar to me. Thanks!

I toss it onto the grass line that is about 15' from shore and let it sink. Then I slightly wiggle or twitch the tip of my rod every 5 to 10 seconds, sometimes dragging the worm towards me. Its like wiggling bait on a hook.

Thank you for the info, I will keep at it until I catch one. Another nice fish, you're on fire!!
