If using a bobber you should be good to let it sit and just monitor to make sure it doesn't travel down the water to much or doesn't get tangled in shallow sea weed. When using a technique with constant movement make sure you give it one or two seconds to allow it to go down a little ways before reeling in. You will then want to create small movements with your pole and reel in to make it seem natural. Once it is back up you will repeat your basic casting and reeling in techniques. As well, remember there are different ways of doing this and will just have to be researched for more in depth routes.

With your basic fish you will want to start to reeling in the line retrieving it while lower your pole towards the water. Now once flush with the water stop reeling and slowly raise your pole up towards 11 o'clock and continue this process until the fish is able to be netted or scooped up.
