I usually start by drilling about ten holes. Then I hole hop with my flasher until I find fish. I'll sit on them for about fifteen minutes and If I don't get any or if its really slow, I'll move to another hole where fish have been marked. I have sat in one hole before and the fish come and go. It just depends on how long they are making me wait. Like you, I'm not that patient. Well, lets put it this way, I go through, not being able to sleep the night before, getting up early, loading all my gear, drilling holes etc. etc. etc., to catch fish! If its not happening I'm moving. If I can't find active fish where I start, I'll move to a different part of the lake ie. deeper, shallower, out of a bay and onto a point etc. However, I always, always, always, go back to holes where I have caught fish. I can usually catch another couple or more after letting the area settle down some!
