Vary the speed until you find out what they want. You may be going alittle to fast. A fast retrieve always works best for me but everyone's definition of fast is different.

I find that 25% to 50% of my bass come on the rear hook. I think part of it is with really sharp hooks, whatever hook comes into contact with the flesh first is the one that hooks the fish. So they can engulf the hole thing and still get hooked with the tail hook.

For me, I've never had much luck with weighted sluggos worked quickly in calm water (I'm guessing it was pretty calm based on the upper bay but I don't know). Try unweighted ones worked slower or bombers/small metal lipped swimmers in that situation.
