I have really been using the Wacky Worm a lot this year

I see his last name is spelled wrong.

2 questions - how far away from the hole do you cast from, and do you cast short and slide it in the hole, or cast into the hole, or cast past it and then drag it into the hole?

Definitely put it on a homemade jawjacker!

I just did this two days ago and it worked well.  I use a trick worm wacky weightless most of the time.  In winter this gives the fish an opportunity to get a good look at the bait, and once reachng the bottom just a shake of the rod tip and long pauses.  In Florida our bass get reluctant to play as a front rolls in, this seems to draw bites.  Also in winter and a cold front they will move out of the shallow weeds and drop deep because water from the aquafer is always leaking from the bottom.  This water is a constant 76* winter and summer.  I only use a stick worm like a senko if I need longer casts.  I think the trick worm gets much better movement from the shake of a rod tip.  I always target ledges with deep changes especially if the ledge close to thick cover.  Bass will move up and down the ledge and into the heavy cover.  I love wacky worming when things are tough and you need to stimulate a bite.
