Always...
I believe some of the best anglers are some of the most patient ones.
Even though fishing for LMB requires having to jig, twitch, etc.
Being patient about your retrieves and not just throwing it out, fishing a certain spot, and reeling it back in quickly pays off big time for me.
I personally try to treat every cast like it's the one I've been waiting for.
A good way to better your patience, from what I've done, is only take one lure with you next time you go fishing and say to yourself "I'm only going to fish this one lure and if a fish bites it, he bites it. If he doesn't, he doesn't". And then just fish, fish and fish until you get bit or leave.
It will be boring, it might get you frustrated, but I believe it pays off in the end.
Anywho, just thought I'd give my opinion...

If you don't mind my asking, could you describe the popper?

Nabbed one on saturday night: 6-pound+ stick fish on a 10 inch curly tail worm.
I need to beat off that skunk that I've been getting there. If anyone wants to go bass hunting any day this week from 7-close, hit me up.
