It’s about as simple as it could be to catch fish but just in a different situation. The wind was blowing probably 15-20 mph and normally you’d want to escape the wind just to make it easier on yourself but what I found is that if you’d cast with the wind past a lay down anywhere from 3-8 feet deep and let the wacky rig fall with slack line. That’s because for one you can let it sink more naturally and it will “pulse” on its way down as well. The second best tip was to have any sort of high visibility braid so you could see your line jump in the wind otherwise it was super hard to detect the bite with the wind blowing. Especially if you don’t have super high grade equipment. If the wind was blowing more I would have probably changed over to a Neko rig just for the fact that’d it’d fight the wind a little bit better than a weightless worm. I was wacky rigging a Senko but any type of Stick worm will work as long as it has enough salt in it. Make sure to tie a 12 lb fluorocarbon leader on your spinning rod just for a little extra insurance if he does get wrapped up in the lay down. Also go and get a VMC wacky tool so you can get at least 2x as many fish on each Senko before switching out.
