Nice fish, TD.
Vertical jigging would seem to be a good method for them because you're constantly in touch with your lure (no slack) so you can tell when they pick it up. The method should also work with a fly rod and micro jigs from the tube. Might give a person some options when shallow flats are in short supply.
I've seen them in the spring, moving along on the surface with their snouts out of the water, sucking in bugs and yellow pollen.
