I need to spend some time with the drop shot. I think I have thrown it maybe a handful of times. I know it is a good technique and bait to use. I bet it would have worked well on a couple of areas that morning. I didn't even bring my spinning rod or tackle to run it though. It was feast or famine with the squarebill.  I fished whole stretches where I got one or maybe zero bites. These were long stretches too...I was fishing fast. Had my trolling motor on 40-50% the whole time. Other areas...I would get 4-6 bass on a stretch. I don't want to give too many specifics in this post though since my brother-in-law and I are planning to fish the Sunday Cape Fair tourney next weekend. 😁

If you had that much success without the drop shot rods leave them at home!   Nice job!

I was way back in a creek fishing the lower end last week and ran into a mess of wood ducks.  I set the rod down watched and listened to them as I got close.   Majority were on the bank and in the timber.  I counted 80-90 as they finally got up in waves crashing out if the timber.   Most headed right back in as I fished my way out of the cove.  Super cool!   

That is pretty neat,  I don' see them very often.

Wood ducks are so beautiful. Would love to harvest one to mount.

I had a chance a lone drake a few years back, but kept hearing a turkey. I passed on jump shooting the wood duck and harvested the turkey for thanksgiving 😉. Saved a few hundred dollars, but still would like a mount.
