Watch your line while it's floating down river (like fly fishing), if it stops or starts going upriver give it a good yank, 9 times out of 10 its fish on! Years ago I used that method in that streatch of the river and caught quite a few nice smallies. But like you mention above, some days they're in there and some days not.

It has been very effective for me especially when fished as a jerk bait just under the water or as a topwater bait. It is not designed to work fast normally but I have also had success skipping it back towards me to illicit a reaction strike, this can be very effective on highly pressured waters like Samammish on the west side.
