I've used the Puppy Spook but only caught bass. One of the best multi-species surface lures I've used is the Original Floating Rapala. It zig zags back and forth near the surface with rod twitches and creates subtle splashes that drive fish nuts. I get most of my strikes after the lure comes to rest.
Another near surface lure with great action is the Fin S Fish soft plastic forked tail minnow. Rigged on a 1/32 oz unpainted ball head jig, the action is similar to the Puppy as it flicks back and forth with rod tip action.
