There's no "right" answer that will apply every time. I let fall and if it's not hit by time it gets to the bottom (maybe even before then), I reel it in and throw again. I've caught a bazillion fish that way!
My buddy, on the other hand, fishes it more like Ronnie...sometimes waiting 5 mins or more...just letting it dead-stick until the line swims off. He's won tournaments that way, so there's something to it.
As Sam said:
This is a great opportunity to learn a lot. Now that you know what presentation they want, it's time to experiment.
Change colors, size, weight (speed of fall), and types of baits. Try to fine-tune the pattern and discover exactly what they're keying on that day. See if you can figure out how to weed out the smaller fish and get bigger bites.
What you learn will pay dividends down the road!

You'll see the other articles cover additional tactics.
That said, if you feel an article is lacking with information, we're always open to article submissions! Here's how to do it:

49'rs were looking at Culpepper for awhile there. They didn't sign him, but I expect another NFL team to pick him up.
It's a seller's market out there.
When summer arrives and BassCat pro John Crews ties on a deep-diving crankbait, his thoughts turn to a hot salsa dance technique just about every time he makes a cast.

First off, I'm not a jig guy. Never had much luck with them. But this year I decided to try a few, including G-Man's lures, and now I'm a firm believer! By far, this is my most productive jig this year:
Tack on that RageTail lobster and you've got a winner!
