Both ways have worked for me. On Fri morning I was working a plug that was getting wacked around and after not hooking up a couple of times I stopped the retrieve and let it sit and twitched it a little. That worked. But I've also hooked up while continuing to reel it in. If there hungry and it's a good realistic presentation they'll take it. That's where experience and technique take over. I'm a novice for sure and probably could hook up more for sure with better technique but that only comes with more time on the water. Keep trying and don't give up.
