Discovered a few things about float fish:
Lately the fish have been deeper:
7' - shorelines seem to have been abandoned
Been using a 4# test f/c leader
Been rigging small plastics with
thin action tails -
finesse action all important!
Lure average less than 2" if the bite is slow -
at first
A 1/24 oz or 1/32 oz ball head with #6 hook has done the trick with or without float
Float size can be medium in size and the fish of all species have no problem taking the float down -
especially when there's a breeze & ripple under a partly cloudy bright sky
recent examples:
Three
different waters produced gills, crappie, perch using the above in 60 degree water. Finesse tail action is key IMHO.
Something to consider.

P.S. - another setup that has been working occasionally using
small curl tail or straight tail grubs on the
overhead spinner:
Again, finesse action and small lure size used with
slow retrieves with pauses are key. Fish may be near bottom or mid-depth.
