Hey Ken, I'm kinda in the same boat right now, no pun intended. My recent
trip to Lake George was my first real trial in deep water fishing, and it
went pretty well. Having said that, any idiot can catch lots of 11 fish
in Lake George. It's by far the easiest body of fresh water I've ever
fished. But at least I got an idea how to drop shot, which was huge. This
weekend I visited a lake near my home in NJ called Round Valley and boy
was it a different story. in 9 hours I boated 8 fish. Three of them were
rock bass and the other 5 black bass were all under 10" long. I think the
real trick to deep fishing is locating the fish, getting them on the hook
is probably the easy part. Anyhow, I'm developing a liking for the drop
shot, and I did well bouncing a yamamoto grub on a 3/8oz leadhead too.
The drop shot is easy and effective. If you feel confident in a
particular plastic, try it on the drop shot and see what happens. I did
really well with 4" senkos about 2' above the weight. Check out these
recently mentioned articles from participants of this group on drop shot
tecniques.
