Went fishing on a 2000 acre lake in the Alexandria,MN area and told

the wife that we were going to fish the dropshot technique and try to

build some confidence in using it for tough fishing conditions. If any

of you who follow my blog know finesse fishing is really hard for me,

I am a full blown power fisherman. Well to start my gps module was not

responding, good thing I brought a map book, well we pulled up onto an

underwater point and on my second cast with a dropshot with a small

3-1/2" straight tail worm my line got alittle heavy so I started

reeling and then my line started moving off to the side and out of

16ft of water a 3lb largemouth went airbourne and tossed the little

hook (dang it) stupid little finesse sissy crap, LOL wow this

dropshotting is easy ha,ha,ha that was total luck couldn't get another

bite here so we moved on to a different spot and my wife Jen caught

her first dropshot fish about a 11-1/2" bass cool I have a dropshot

master well she ended up catching three spinners in a row a spinner

is a rock bass, if you snap your wrist downward sharply when releasing

the fish sending it cartwheeling through the air, when it hits the

water it will spin and spin as it decends down to the depths. I then

caught a small pike on my dropshot. We are now fishing a new

underwater point and Jen caught a tiny bass on her new found favorite

technique (dropshotting), I can't take this have to keep covering

water to locate the right size fish so I turned up the Minn Kota a bit

and start throwing a Rapala DT 10 and caught a 13" bass I quickly

released it gently back into the water and kept moving I the picked

up a rattle bait and in shortorder caught a nice 2-1/2 pound

largemouth but could not get another one. A storm was slowly

approaching so we made a move to a big underwater point with some good

weeds rimming the breakline so I started throwing my favorite Secret

Lures MVP flipping jig in black and blue and bingo started whacking

some decent fish a 3lb'er and 4 or 5 2 to 2-1/2 lb'ers, well the wind

is picking up and there is thunder and rain so we call it the day.
