casting techniques

[Bladerunner]

alot of times when i cast out, i get too much splash. (dropping a bowling bowl from a plane would make less commotion) my trajectory must be completely off . i mostly have this problem when using larger bait, like a buzz bait. what's a good method (rod position) to use to get a cleaner entry into the water.? once i get myself on the right track or know what im supposed to be doing, i can just keep practicing till i get it
