When fishing surface plugs (metal lips, finnish swimmers on top, floating needles, poppers, etc.) do you start your retrieve immediately upon the plug hitting the water or do you allow it to sit for awhile before beginning the retrieve? Or maybe even dead sticking with some twitches? Fast initial retrieve upon hitting the water? What works most oftentimes for you?
