Out today with fellow forum member Teebert today....got started around 7am....off the water at 4pm. Boy, what a day....and I mean, what a day! Tom is new to drop shot fishing but caught on quick....quick enough that we boated 50 fish today!
Here's the details....started off the morning with topwater...first couple of places, fish all around us but could only get a couple of small fish to hit. As soon as the sun got up a little - we started topwater then moving in to drop shot.
At around 9am....Teebert was leading 3-2....no big girls, just some keeper spots. That's when I said it's time to start dropping more. So, we started the top and drop pattern and started killing them! Tom even got his first drop shot fish...we're talking a newbie to the "FWC" (Fairy Wand Club)
Hitting waypoints in 20'-25' of water....we were running and gunning boating fish on almost every place. Kind of funny....when we started, we said the goal was 15 fish....if we get there, it would be 20...then 25...and so on. Man - Fruity Worms and a couple of Robo's were on fire today!
Well, around 10am, we had hit the 15 mark on the drop shot....then it really picked up...doubles were frequent. Then at 3:18pm....we boated #41 and I said..."well, goal is now 45"....at 3:35pm....I pulled on a waypoint and we doubled up back to back....now sitting at 45 with 20 minutes left.
Hit another waypoint....BOOM....another double...then a single...sitting at 48 ...time, 3:52. I said," last place before time runs out at 4pm....pull up and again, BOOM...another double and we hit the 50 mark!
Great day Teebert...a lot of laughs and a ton of fish. I know you're sold on the drop shot now No big girls today...just a ton of keepers with a few 2.5# fish mixed in. Back out Friday on a trip....hope to see you out there...I'm worn out!
