It means fish a goby. We have Ayu here, but it's a killer pattern.

That's the point. They'll all get bit anyway if you present them correctly at the right depth in the right spot at the right time.

I have tons of swimbaits but nothing like a goby I do have keitechs etc what length do you think would be a good start?

Storm makes a pre-rigged goby swimbait.  Caught several smallmouth and a few walleye on one in Ontario.

 

Its a good color with good action.  I'd fish a goby bait just to see what happens.

Gobies generally relate to the bottom of a body of water, scurrying along bottom. If you really wanna mimic one, I'd say the Dark Sleeper or a tube is a good place to start. 

Gobies don't have swimbladders so they always relate to the bottom.

The megabass dark sleeper is probably what you want.  It is a dead ringer for a goby and people say they work really well dragged on the bottom and hopped along like a jig.
