Most of the time I use a spinner bait to search from shore. If you prefer slow and with soft plastics I would suggest a split shot rig with a baby rage craw, or smaller curly tail worm. You can fish it faster than a Texas rigged worm, but it is slower than a spinnerbait. A slow, but constant, retrieve with few pauses or pops here and there is how i usually fish it.
If you go the route of a spinnerbait, just fan cast everywhere, with a constant retrieve. Make sure to give it some action, don't just reel it straight in. Jerk, pop, pause it. Speed it up and slow it down. Size 3/8oz and white is what I recommend.
