Uncle Russ,
you are more likely to be able to keep a bait near the surface using a balloon if you will also use a clear casting bobber like one would use for fishing for macs off a pier. Slipped under were you tied on your balloon and above a swivel you should be able to keep a bait fairly close to the top.
That said... Free lining a bait is your best bet. A simple swiveled, circle hook at the end of a windon. Stay in touch with a lively bait and wait.
Keep it simple Russ!
