You can float fish it or just cast it out and retrieve it back like a buzz bomb.

Yes, I use an inline sinker when I'm float fishing. My rig consist of a float on the mainline to the sinker followed by 20" leader and jig.

what is an inline sinker?

 yes you can tip them with bait but it is not necessary.  You can also put a small rubber worm on the hook with an inch or so trailing off the back.
