One technique I have impressed the locals with a few times this year is casting from shore and bombing my bait into a tree along the same shoreline. I mainly do it when sidearm casting. I think it must look cool because everybody points and stares in awe.

SLOW and gently twitched. You want them to look like suspended feeding shad.
