Rigging The Earth Worms On A Drop Shot?

[Shaner]

Hey Guys,

My brother-in-laws who don't fish much are coming into town next week. We're going to be fishing around Indian Point. I figure night crawls will be the best way to get them into some fish. How do you guys rig your earth worms? Do you let some hang off and wiggle, or push all of it on there? I haven't fished much down by Indian Point so if you know some good location to try I would greatly appreciate. Thanks for all the great info.

Shaner,

I use a #4 or #6 octopus hook (a bait holder will work) and nose hook the crawler a couple of times allowing most of it to hang loose and wiggle around on it's own.

Look for long points with deep water close by or saddles with deep water on either side. The bite has gotten a little toughter and most of the fish are suspending in the 30' - 40' range over as much as 150' of water so quality electronics are key. You should be able to catch a few right on the bottom in 30' - 40' of water on points early.

Good Luck
