Best Dropshot Line

8/11/22. Fish continue to be in and out of weeds. Found fish anywhere from 8-25FOW. Focusing on the deeper weed lines lead to a more consistent and bigger bites. Dropshotting a roboworm produced the most bites throughout the day. Early morning was best, as you can see bait fish getting chased on top of the weeds; a drop shot was still the only thing they wanted. Most of the big catches came off dead sticking the drop shot.

(6/7/2022 water temp 66-70) Got to meet the llama today so that made everything great but besides that the fish are very scattered and hard to build a pattern I’ve been catching fish in a foot of water with a frog 6-12 with a flipping jig and 15-20 with a drop shot just gotta figure out your strengths and cover water. For the frogs look for overhang trees, for jigs look for thick grass patches of milfoil and the drop shot was looking for big rock and sand transitions.

Got out for only a few hours but got a few bites on a drop shot in 10 to 15 feet on cobble flats.

Overall it was a slow bite all day, most fish were caught in the morning hours. Tried flipping T-rigs but ended up relying on more finesse to get bites. Every fish I caught came on the drop shot. Dead sticking in and along the weed edges. Morning Dawn was the go to color for bites

Drop shotting the weedlines. Worked my way along the edge until I caught one, then I would pick apart that one area. I was able to catch a lot of bass this day due to weather conditions allowing them to school. Rods are very important when drop shotting, if you don’t have a good one you should get one.

Brandon Downs reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Lake Waconia. Additional comments from this report: "The bite is really tough right now, the bass are in a post spawn funk it seemed like to us. We also saw bait all over the lake so it’s hard to find the right areas. We fished secondary ares such as secondary points or secondary drops along a bank, those kind of areas seemed to work best for us and we were able to catch about 15.50lbs for our best 5 "

On Crystal Lake locate the deeper weed lines 10-15ft. Ideally locating milfoil or coon tail as the main vegetation. Using a VMC finesse neko hook, Texas-rig the plastic to be more weedless. Work the drop shot down the whole weed line until you get bites. Once you catch a fish there is a good chance there are multiple in the area so be sure to work the area over well before moving on. This should produce a decent number of fish with some quality ones mixed in.
