Finally, back on the water after several days of nasty weather. Winds were going to be light today and from a decent direction, allowing me to go to the areas I wanted. Matt was with me and interested in learning how to dropshot, so we began with a drift! It didn’t take long before he locked up on a good smallie and was well on his way to graduating. I told him we were going to fish the technique three different ways and he was all in!

Each spot we hit held fish and by mixing it up, he was able to catch bass from all of them. There were even a few taken on blades which made for great hits. Casting the dropshot definitely produced the most fish and even landed him, his personal best walleye.

We finished off the day by vertically dropshotting deeper water and he hooked up instantly. Boat control was key to being able to keep the baits properly straight down and he realized very quickly how it was done. Several good bass were landed, including a nice double, before we were done.

This was definitely, a very relaxing day spent on the water! Matt fished tournaments back home and caught on to everything new today. I’m sure he will be adding dropshotting to his list of techniques already used in future events as well as just pleasure fishing. Great times were had by both today!
