While retrieving and a fish shows up

This may be one of those instances when thinking gets in the way of fishing.

this is an awesome thread. I gotta tell ya the truth, I seem to ALWAYS screw it up when a fish boils or something around my plug.
So what I have tried to do is just stay calm and continue my retrieve as before, I figure that the current retrieve attracted them in the first place, so why change it?

Depends on the plug/place.

A perfect example is a certain shallow water eelgrass spot I fish in the Spring.I almost fish exclusively with Salty's 1.25 poppers (yes,olive/white!) at a snail's pace.When a fish misses it the first time around I stop the retrieve and nine times out of ten the fish comes back.Many quality fish taken this way.

Other places I do other things,but that would be a novel and my typing sucks.
