Using a Vmc finesse Neko hook was key to keep that Roboworm Texas Rigged. Was trying to drop on them on humps but it wasn’t working so I stated dragging the drop shot out off of the points and through the grass. It was a good tap of a bite but it was a very short time when they had it.

Found a good patch of grass with lots of bait in it and they were stacked up like crazy. Caught 18lbs for our best 5 in about 45min. Just throw that dropshot in there and pull it nice and slow through that grass!
