Best Dropshot Line

Jbassy17 reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Sunline Super FC Sniper on Lake Minnetonka. Additional comments from this report: "Found some larger isolated clumps of coontail in 24ft of water and worked edges of clump with a dropshot. Most fish ate on fall or while letting bait soak on bottom after initial drop so no dragging was needed."

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.

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.

For numbers of bass (not necessarily big ones) I looked for isolated vegetation in 14-16 fow and slowly worked a wacky drop shot. Also caught a few flipping weed edges with a jig and t rig.water temps were still only 70 degrees and the water was as high as I've ever seen it, with more vegetation than I've seen too.

Yang reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Twin Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Dead stick and twitch when you get hung on weeds or feel rocks"

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.

Caught fish on the deep weed edges and open patches in the weeds anywhere from 7'-15'. Mostly used a drop shot with a swimbait but also a hair jig with a half-senko trailer. The little northerns and sunnies also liked the baits a little too much sometimes.
