Drop shot Gills at Pickwick.
Had a great day fishing drop offs at Pickwick today using the Trout Magnet on a drop shot setup. I used a #4 panfish hook tied about 2 feet up from a 1/4 ounce snake in da brush weight. I fished for another 5 hours today and never got this thing hung up....it is the real deal. Used my 6' 7" UL Major Craft FineTail Banshee Area Trout Rod strung up with SOS 2# test line. Had a Bison colored Trout Magnet on the panfish hook. Cast out into 8 feet of water and slowly wound it back....without fail when it got to the ledge and started down...bam...fish on! Had over 150 Gills all in the 7-8 inch range. Not the size I am looking for but the positives were....chunky fat fish......good fight on the setup I was using......numbers were off the charts. Had about 10 juvenile shellcrackers...they were small but a lot of fight. I fished for 5 hours then a quick look at Radar Scope on my phone and it told me it was time to go. Good thing too....as soon as I got the boat loaded and in the truck the bottom dropped out. If you haven't tried drop shotting a Trout Magnet do so.....it is a fun way to fish and get it down to them deep. Plus when they hit, they hit it hard. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks the 8-9 inch fish will show up. Life is good!
