I do it both ways. Many times I just let the chop of the water give it action....other times I will very slowly twitch the float back to me. I will cast past the point where I think they are holding and more often than not you will see the float disappear when you hit the zone. I will use a size B split shot at times. If it is windy you just about have to. Today I was using a jig head made from a 3mm tungsten bead with a size 10 hook......it worked great....no split shot used with that setup. When the water warms more I will use the TM 1/64 head. It works great with that slow fall when the fish suspend.
