Best Dropshot Line

Adam Radovic reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Sunline Super FC Sniper on Lake St Clair. Additional comments from this report: "Hot water temps have pushed the Smallmouth into full Summer pattern. Productive depths averaged 16-18ft. Isolated vegetation held groups of similar sized fish, competition was low between fish, and fishing pressure was high. Moving to 1/4oz from 3/8oz unlocked some bites."

James Mattingly reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Sunline Super FC Sniper on Green River Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing a hot and crowded Green River Lake. A finesse dropshot on they offshore ledges was the only way I could get bit. 10-25ft ledges with some rock and brushpiles were the best places to look"

King Shaun Fishing reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Detroit River. Additional comments from this report: "Made a long run on to Erie this weekend for the derby. Bite was very tough but the ones we caught were the right size; catching them in about 16-24 ft of water. "

Focused primarily in the 13-18ft range targeting smallmouth with a drop shot or a tube. I had one school located in 13ft that I would start on each day and use the tube to get a quick limit. Making long casts and snapping the tube back across the bottom. After getting a limit I would focus deeper in 16-18ft the rest of the day using a drop shot to pick off individual fish using Mega Live. The fish seemed to be relating to slight rises or drops (1ft or less) on the massive flats of St. Clair. Beyond that, if bait was in the area it made it even better. Sunny conditions in the afternoon were best for seeing fish on Mega Live as they would rise up off the bottom to actively feed. Stayed in the trolling motor in the afternoons just moving around until I would run into pods of fish.

Christian Highfield reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Lake Erie. Additional comments from this report: "Smallies are starting to move back out of shallow flats. Finding them on brush lines or rock piles in 8-12’ of water. "

They stocked trout this year and I have been getting them on drop shots while bass fishing. About half have come from deeper water and half from out of shallow structure. This came out of an overhang in about a foot of water.

Ndenig reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Lake St Clair. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing in Anchor Bay was a little crowded after the Elite Series last week. The fish were still biting. My wife and I caught several three and a half to four pound fish in 11 to 13 FOW. She was slow rolling a rage swimmer and I was picking off fish on mega live with an Arkansas Shiner Baby Z Too. Fun bite at the end of summer."

Southshore Smallmouth Charters reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Lake St Clair. Additional comments from this report: "Lake St-Clair is a huge featureless bowl filled with sand and grass. Short scrubby sand grass with sand spots mixed in can be dynamite as the summer pattern locks in. A drift in a 7-10mph wind dragging a dropshot out deep can be incredibly productive and when u find something it’s often all yours until you talk too much. "
