Impossible spot to catch any bass. ? Want to bet.

Let me set up the scene. About a week before 4th of July I stumbled ( I mean that LITERALLY)on a weird way and dangerous way to catch a few bass I averaged  two or more keeper bass (Top was 5) a outing walking local docks using a drop shot between 1 and 4 in the afternoon . The wakes were so bad I had to grip my arm around a handy pole many times to fish. And it continues to this day. My son was here this weekend to leave his kids off a week. He does not drop shot. He fished a 9" plastic worm. In this terrible heat and with some wakes crashing over the top of the dock floors.  He managed to catch 4 Bass 3 !/2, 2 !/2 end a couple shorts. The 3 1/2 one was in about 6 ft of water under the spot where the ramp joined the dock. Crazy experience but I will not forget it happened. Not sure what will cause nice bass to come in in conditions like that. I will not forget it though.   Old dogs really can be taught new tricks

Sometimes the best "boat positioning" requires being OUT OF the boat.  😊

Well it felt every bit like setting on a butt seat out in the water in a boat. That cn be a real scary as well. I been knocked off of it a few times

Old Plug, I’ll give you credit for turning me on to the drop shot! Thank you Sir!

Well thank you old friend. I know your a river man. I was too at one time. I have often wondered just what could beckon with that thing casting upstream and letting it roll the bottom  into a deep hole Maybe let it swing around straight down before you retrieved it. Not all the fish are in Rootwads I do not think. What I showed you has been amended and amended again. I no longer use q lot of line. Now days it is maybe 12 to 14 inches from the top swivel to the weight on the end I keep my barrel swivel within a inch or so of the hook. It that simple.
