The Digger is correct. Look for the birds working the bait and try to get a drift through. Slow retrieve with irratic stops has been the trick. Well as far as a class on using the popper:
They are wood so they float. Try to stop it for a second or two and then give it a couple good pops. rod tip to your side. then let it sit or slow retrieve a couple cranks than pop again. that's how I was hitting them. If you don't see the birds working try working the north tip of the island and work your way east to potters cove. The bass will hold tight to shore some times.
Thanks for trying the popper. please let me know how you do.
