    It was a very tough day on the water but was still able to get a couple of bites. I was using a drop shot with the hook being a VMC Neko hook and a WOO Tungsten 1/4 oz tear drop weight. The bait was a little Bio Spawn plasma tail. I would find that making a very long cast was important because the visibility was dang near 13 feet. When the water was this clear and the fish were this finicky a 8lb fluorocarbon was a necessity. The water temp was 40 degrees which is extremely cold but just keeping a patient mindset and dragging the drop shot as slow as you can.

    Try to just slowly rip this above some good green grass that’s deeper than most and you should get bit!

    It’s about as simple as it could be to catch fish but just in a different situation. The wind was blowing probably 15-20 mph and normally you’d want to escape the wind just to make it easier on yourself but what I found is that if you’d cast with the wind past a lay down anywhere from 3-8 feet deep and let the wacky rig fall with slack line. That’s because for one you can let it sink more naturally and it will “pulse” on its way down as well. The second best tip was to have any sort of high visibility braid so you could see your line jump in the wind otherwise it was super hard to detect the bite with the wind blowing. Especially if you don’t have super high grade equipment. If the wind was blowing more I would have probably changed over to a Neko rig just for the fact that’d it’d fight the wind a little bit better than a weightless worm. I was wacky rigging a Senko but any type of Stick worm will work as long as it has enough salt in it. Make sure to tie a 12 lb fluorocarbon leader on your spinning rod just for a little extra insurance if he does get wrapped up in the lay down. Also go and get a VMC wacky tool so you can get at least 2x as many fish on each Senko before switching out.
