I was looking for shad everywhere I went on Hartwell last weekend, knowing
if I could find them I'd get into some actively feeding fish, but I didn't
locate any. I'm going to have to start using the DP rig.... sounds like the
perfect presentation for the situation you described, Chris.

Ran across a spot tonight, that I have had success on in the past, it is
no bigger than my boat, but drops from 2' to 8' immediately, and on the
deep side it is mud, and on the shallow side all rock, and on either
side of this spot (which is about as big as my boat) is all rock that
slopes from 2', to 5' , finally to 8' gradually. So I noticed balls of
shad on my graph at about 6' right in this spot, with what looked like
weeds on the very bottom, but very tight to bottom. Well, pulled out
the drop shot rod, with a 3" pearl senko (stick-o actually from bass
pro) and proceeded to catch 22 smallies, 1 largemouth , and a whitebass
in about 1 hour. Granted only 1 legal smallie (14.25"), and the
largemouth was about 13.75". The rest were between 12 & 13". Again, I
wouldn't have won a tournament, but I had a blast.
