Members indyfisher Posted March 23, 2006 Members Posted March 23, 2006 I'll be at the TR next sat-tues, just wondering if I should try drop shotting? I don't fish it in Indiana, so is it worth my time and effort to give it a try? Thanks
Fishing Buddy Don House Posted March 23, 2006 Fishing Buddy Posted March 23, 2006 Indyfisher, well you can give it a try... But with the wind issues right now, being spring time and we get alot of wind in the spring it will be hard at best to first find the fish deep and then stay on them in the wind .. If there is alot of wind, I would go to the fast moving baits fished slow, wigglewarts, swimming minnows, swimming grubs, spinnerbaits, ect... If there is no wind then go with stickbaits, small jigs, shakey jigs or a splitshot rig... Keep watching the site I and a few others will have more information about what is going on before you get here.. Good luck and Good Fishing Capt.

Members petertherock Posted March 26, 2006 Members Posted March 26, 2006 Hey indyfisher, Don is right on! You'll be lucky to have any day without wind. Those baits under the conditions that Don described are the best this time of the year. I'm going to tell you to try an 1/8 oz. jighead with a 3 inch Bass Pro Shop Triple Ripple Tail grub in white. If you want other colors go smoke or chartreuse varieties. Stick by the white and you won't go wrong. Swim that puppy deliberately and slow, speedin up now and then but for the most part keepin' a steady slow retrieve. Then throw a jerkbait as well. Don't forget the Wiggle Wart in crawdad. I believe you sound as if you'll be fishing the area around Indian Point and the dam, and with these baits in your arsenal you won't go wrong. Just wave that big one at me when you land it! I'll be watching you with binoculars from my hacienda sitting high above on Eagle Ridge. petertherock
