The Goldfish can be cast, jigged or trolled. When casting, allow the lure to drop to desired depth (1 second of time is roughly 1 foot). Retrieve at a slow, steady pace; periodically add a twitch or a pause to mimic a dying minnow. Direct tie on or add a split ring or clip when casting or slow trolling as a swivel will reduce the wobble action for which the Goldfish is famous.
