Since you have been going after bones and bars, then on the surface is ok. If you want to catch yellowtail, try the lures like the rapalas that have lips to keep them a little above the surface.

I was trolling a spoon in fresh water yesterday, I almost could not paddle slow enough to keep the spoon from coming to the surface. I would stop and let it sink then start paddling again and it would come right back up. I think stop and go is the only option with a spoon.
