Techniques of Fishing:

1. Popping Action: Cast the popper and retrieve it with a rhythmic "pop" to create surface disturbance. This imitates a wounded or fleeing baitfish, attracting predatory fish.

2. Varied Retrieval Speeds: Experiment with different retrieval speeds to find what triggers strikes. Some fish prefer a slower, steady retrieve, while others may respond to a faster, erratic retrieve.

3. Pause and Twitch: After a series of pops, pause the retrieve and give the popper a subtle twitch. This mimics a struggling or injured prey, enticing strikes from nearby fish.

4. Target Structure: Cast around structures like rocks, reefs, and vegetation where predatory fish often lurk. Work the popper near these areas to increase your chances of attracting bites.

5. Adjust for Conditions: Adapt your technique based on weather and water conditions, a subtle approach may be effective, while rougher waters might require more aggressive popping to grab the attention of fish.
