I've reliably caught many small mouth bass in East Canyon Reservoir every time I've fished there by shore fishing casting a fork tail goldfish swim bait while walking the shore.
I choose surface swimming swim bait deliberately because I have good control of it's direction on retrieves with good visibility of the goldfish to swim it close to weeds and sticks yet avoiding getting it stuck and tangled.
I've had best results fishing it everywhere my friend told me: "don't cast out there because you'll get your lure caught in weeds and rocks."
I told him: "But, that's where the fish are!"
Fish the weeds and rocks!
