Potomac River (WV)

Brad Hancock reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and WOO! Tungsten Drop Shot Weight - Cylinder Shape on Potomac River. Additional comments from this report: "Tried grass flats with limited results on Spinnerbait, swimming worm, and crank bait. Found the juice was wood and metal dock posts. Bigger fish came from 8-10’ depth. Smaller fish a bit shallower. "

Additional comments from this report: "My buddy Matt and I went to the lake today for about 6 hours. We scanned main lake points and just deeper banks for any type of structures. We were able to find some fish. I caught 6 fish, 5 of them being smallmouth between 10-12 inches. One largemouth that was about 12-13 inches. Found a school of stripers as well but they wouldn't eat anything."

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

$7.49 – $9.49

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.

Reported by
Adrian Urso

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.
