How do you work a needlefish off the rocky striper shoreline successfully?

So far I've managed ONE micro on a white 1.5 oz needle that I was twitching across the surface kind of like a pencil, without the walk the dog action...
In my opinion, you just answered your own question.

Whatever it takes to catch a fish in that situation is how you should work a needlefish.

It's a plug that takes time to develop confidence in. When that starts to happen you'll begin to catch many more fish on it.

Keep fishing that 1.5 in a white. It's a great plug.
