Drop shot isnt that fishing with a quarter stick of dynamite...?....lol

yep, you hit the nail on the head about what fishing is like right now.  the bass are just here and there and never in the same location twice.  since the food source seems to be here and there from day to day, so are the bass.  i am right in there with you on the drop shotting, but sometimes you have to do something that is not your favorite to catch them.  i would say that you had a decent day, especially since the bass seem to be so scattered now.

Is the drop shot considered a last resort at TR or something, or just not Champs style?

I was at TR a few weeks ago with the family around the Kimberling City area. My trolling motor went out so needless to say my fishing was very hampered. A guy in the slip next to me was talking about using full size 8" trick worms for the drop shot. Whats your normal drop shot bait Quill?

I think Champ answered the first part, but yeah, not his style.

Lately I have been fishing a Missile Baits Fuse 4.4.  Zoom Finesse worms were my old stand by, and those Yammy Kut tails that Champ mentions are another good one.  I haven't done any drop shotting with bigger worms like a Trick worm.  I was watching the recap of the recent Elite event on the Potomac, and the winner (can't remember the name) was throwing a drop shot with a worm that looked to be about Trick worm sized.  He had the worm rigged Texas style as apposed to a nose hook,  probably worth trying one of these days.
