First tie fishing out of my home state of Minnesota, for my first bass master open. Found a pocket off the main river and they were loaded in a small hole. Drop shot did all my damage.

VMC Tungsten Drop Shot Weight

Reported by
Nate Boenning
Lake St Clair (MI)
Drifted flats and used livescope to find fish. Once located we would pitch out the drop shot and dead stick it on bottom around them.

Reported by
Ben Redlin
Lake Murray (SC)
We fished brush and stumps that were close to bends off the old creek channels in the creeks that had cleaner water towards the dam. Fished a drop shot and shakey head around that structure.

Lake Champlain (NY, VT)
Use active target to locate the postspawners roaming on points adjacent to spawning boulders and cast the drop shot to them and don’t move it.
