Members CanoeBoy Posted July 24, 2013 Members Posted July 24, 2013 Ive caught more fish on the drop shot then any other way, but not on Table Rock. I hear a lot of talk about success on Table Rock with a drop shot. Personally haven't had much luck so I normally use a jig. I have caught a few on the drop w/Roboworms, but mostly near the bank in shallow water. I have also had luck catching big smallys on a drop wacky rigging a black senko around docks. Anybody have some tips on fishing the drop shot. Table Rock is a deep lake, are the successful people catching fish using the drop shot suspended in water or near the bottom? What colors and type?
countryred Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Back in my tournament days, I caught quite a few fish on Table Rock, mostly kentuckies, on a drop shot in 20 to 60' of water. Long flat points and just gravel flats , you could idle around and find the bait and most times there were bass nearby. A zoom swamp crawler, an owner drop shot hook, and a 1/4 oz drop shot weight. on 6lb line. You fish it vertical and watch your screen, you can watch your bait go all the way down. That was back in the old days when LCR's had fish symbols.

Quillback Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Canoeboy - Here's a thread that discusses the drop shot. Bill's post midway through the thread tells it all.
Members CanoeBoy Posted July 25, 2013 Author Members Posted July 25, 2013 Thank you sir, good info! Planning on fishing sometime this week, looking forward to try some new things.
Members CanoeBoy Posted July 31, 2013 Author Members Posted July 31, 2013 I just learned something watching YouTube When tying a palomar for the DS and the hook faces down, all you have to do is put the line back through the eye of the hook...Doh!
