Griff, IMHO yes you are waiting to long. The general premise is that if the bugs are crawling, they will come and eat for a bit and move on; you could consider bugs both competitive, and a bit of a nervous creature. Most guys running 5 nets, paddle back to the first, after dropping the last one, and start their pulling, culling, re-baiting and re-droping cycle. It may not appear, but it does take some time to complete one cycle; and it can be a real workout (the reason Jim's vid is so shaky, is because he has his cam mounted on his PFD, and he's pulling the nets with both arms; it simply demonstrates the effort and speed he puts into it). Basically, it's what you make of it; you can take it easy, or work your tookis off. But if you ever happen to hoop or fish with Jim, be warned, he's an animal, and if you try to keep up with him, he'll work both you and himself into the ground, in both the pace, and the time spent OTW.
