Fish were holding on the steep bluff walls in their summer pattern and drop shot was the key. Had multiple big largemouth and smallmouth eat it on the fall. The Daiwa Rebellion 7-0ML is a fantastic drop shot rod with the perfect power and action for this technique.

Went out for a night trip, for a chance at some spots I can only hit when the lake is calm in my tiny boat. Turned out to be the only one in the water. Very calm night, air was in the mid 60’s, enough moonlight to navigate by. I used the depth charts on the pro app to locate a series of humps coming up to about fifteen feet from about 30 or so. Spent a few hours pickin em apart with a ned rig, Got a handful of little rock bass, couple nice smallmouth, four or five largemouth, and the one pictured is my new PB. I gotta get a scale….
