Fired up the drop shot rig for about an hour this evening. Pulled in 31. With the beautiful weather and the full moon it was quite an evening.

VERY NICE CONGRATS . :ThumbsUp
A great day for sure, congrats!
Beautiful fish! What an evening!
Nice fish congrats. I'm going to give drop shotting a try.
Very nice report and some great pictures. Drop shotting works for most freshwater species.
Awesome catch, never drop shot from the bank. I think that VA Crappie dude does it also. I have always drop shot from the boat in deep water, +20ft in the Fall of the year. Maybe I am missing something for this time of year?
Drop shotting from the bank is good for when you don't want to use a float and need some casting distance, or you just want to given the fish a different look. Plenty of fish can be caught. If you ever watched any of EPF's videos, you'll see he uses the drop shot often.
I used to drop shot sunfish a lot more than I do now. It is an excellent way to pick off bluegill off the bed with crickets!

The shot was workin for ya!! Nice!
I really need to give the drop-shot rig more of a chance.
Looks like a stellar day!
Nice drop shot is how I fish most of the time
I have never drop shot from the bank either just usually fish a float. Might give it a try.
Did it again tonight and bagged about another 20 including some bass. Lots of fun.
So what type and weight shot are you using.
First day I just put on two small split shots. The next day I bought a sinker designed for drop shot (like the one at the link below). In both cases the weight was 1/8 oz or less. I'm fishing in a pond, so there is no current. I only needed enough weight to get to the bottom but not so much that the sinker would get stuck in the crud on the bottom.

Thanks for the info. I have a pond that I am definitely going to give this a try. Lots of crud on the bottom so I usually float fish. This might be a good alternative.
I still wind up with crud on the sinker on many casts. Even snagged and pull one off yesterday.
