How do YOU work a needlefish?

[Parker650]

I'm asking this question, which probably has been asked a thousand times, but I would like to hear it from you guys. It seems everytime I fish one, I can't make up my mind how to fish it, slow or fast, twitch or straight in, on top or just off the bottom.

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...
