When/Where would you drop-shot?

[Waterfoul]

i will, and when that doesn't work i'll throw a jig.... and when that doesn't work i'll throw a texas rig..... and when that doesn't work i'll pull up my skirt, touch up my lip gloss and get my fairy wand out and sprinkle pixie dust alllll day.

Pixie dust... LOL!!!  Keep on fishing tinkerbell!!   

Got the schedule done yet???

How is throwing a weightless senko on 8lb test on spinning gear so different than dropshotting? Still a sissy way to fish isn't it? Throw it out let it fall to the bottom and repeat, doesn't sound like a manly way to fish to me. I actually think its the easiest way to catch fish, the action of the bait does all the work for you. Now skipping docks with it that's a different story...
  Kinda surprised you put a senko in the same category as the dropshot Dude. I remember when I fished with you a few years back and you threw that thing all day. You must have changed your style since then.

hahaha. yeah - i admit it. i was a senko chucker.... but i didn't throw it all day... i used a beaver too i'm sure.     In the past 3 years, i've probably gone through 4 packs of senkos.  i can count the times i used them this past year for something other than dock fishing on 1 finger in fact.  I know they catch fish, lots in fact - i just have more confidence in coaxing bigger fish on other baits. I pretty much go out and fish for 5 bites these days rather than 20 and sort.

Doesn't always work - but i'm still learning and trying to be better at it. When its all said and done, i think having techniques mastered that a majority of the competition can't or don't use is what will put me in the money.

DROP SHOT IS MY MIDDLE NAME Drop Shot is my 1# go to bait. I drop shot anywhere anytime. (If Drop Shot is allowed on that lake.)

im practically the same way...i use to use the senko exclusivelly, i hardly touch it anymore and would like to work it back into my fishing. its hard to pick back up when you can jerk a 3lb+ fish out from underneath a dock/boat on the hookset with a jig. as for the drop shot i pretty much only use it on st clair...on an inland lake if you see me doing it youll know im up the creek without a paddle. theres a difference between catching fish and winning a tournament, and im not saying the DS wont win tournaments theres a time and place for everything
