Top! I am strictly a tosser of wood! My style of fishing depends largely on splashing, gurgling, v-wakes and tempting the fish to come up for a look! More specifically I fish the top to maybe 5 feet down!  Its my zone and I love it! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

1/3 fresh
1/3 salt
1/3 frozen
I use them all, all throughout the year.

I fish the whole column. I usually throw tin unless I find fish on top, if so then I go right to pencils.
1st cast normal retrieve as soon as it hits the water; work the top.
2nd cast slow retrieve with jigging action to make it work 10-20 feet of the water - and this is where I find most of the fish (so I guess my answer is middle - and why? because that's where I find the fish!).
3rd cast get it in down in the sand, shoot it out and let it drop back.
No hits? Have some coffee, then repeat, maybe change up something such as use a tin without a dressed hook to see if that fits the mood for the day. Nothing after 30 minutes? In the truck and move on down the beach.
Really like to find them on top so I can break out the Carlezon's.

Just the tip 
Bottom hugger while its dark out. Unless we're talking about jitterbugs for largemouth at night. Pencils etc when the sun is out. |
Domination takes full concentration..

Sounds like someone I know...probably the same guy. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
