Hi thanks for the report. Can you explain how you 'drop shot'? Do you just have a weight at the bottom and a plastic a couple feet up from that? Do you just let the weight sit on the bottom, take up the slack and jiggle the bait for action? Or do you drag it back to the kayak?

Thanks
David

How I personally drop shot. I get about a four foot piece of line and tie the line to a barrel swivel. Tie the sinker on to one end then make a dropper loop about 8-14 inches from the sinker. I try to make the loop three times four inches big so the jig has some room for doing its thing. I let the weight sit on bottom but always keep tension or I lose the rig every time. I do small jigs or let it sit in the current most of the time I have had the fish just grab as long as your bring it over structure. I try to fish by drifting over the structure I find.
