Drop Shotting In Depth

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

By Steven Vonbrandt Drop-shotting has been touted as one of the hottest “new” techniques around, but it has been around since the mid 1970s. Drop-shotting has been revived in the last 5 years by Japanese anglers, who started using this technique to catch the bass in their clear, highly pressured lakes, but saltwater anglers, and panfisherman have been using this technique for many years to catch finicky fish suspended off the bottom. In the past few years, tournament anglers have adopted this technique to put hard to catch fish into the boat. It is an excellent technique for catching deep bass, and bass that are highly pressured in many of the tournament waters all over the US. The techniques that are used today have been refined, but the basic technique has remained the same for 30 years. BASIC TECHNIQUE The most simple explanation of this technique is that drop-shotting is a vertical presentation using light line, over top of fairly snag free structures. A sinker is tied to the line, which is usually 8-12 pound test, and a hook is tied on the line, about 1-3 feet above the weight. A soft plastic bait is usually nose hooked, and the rig is lowered to the depth of the fish. Most anglers use their electronics to locate the structure, baitfish, and bass, and the rig is brought into the area where the strikes are suspected. The baits action is controlled by a slight shaking, or gentle twitching of the rod tip. This is a very simple explanation, but drop-shotting can be much more refined and more complicated. The types of hooks used for this technique vary greatly with each individual anglers preference. There are many anglers out there today that prefer the short shanked style of hooks for drop-shotting. These are called “Octopus” hooks. Many times these hooks are colored red, which many anglers believe bass see as a wounded bait. There are also many companies who manufacture pre-rigged drop-shot rigs, so you don’t have to waste a lot of time tying them when you get on the water. Others prefer to tie the rigs themselves, but this is something that most do ahead of time, so they can save valuable time on the water for fishing. Most bass fisherman, myself included, prefer a straight shanked hook, because in places where there is current, these styles resist some of the line twisting that occurs in these situations. I like to use a ball-bearing swivel myself, which prevents most of the line twisting that can occur. I tie on a swivel as a connection between the line and leader. I always use a black swivel for this and other techniques in clearer water, as I believe it doesn’t spook wary bass. I also use the smallest swivel I can get away with. I use a Superline for these techniques also, as I believe it aids in detecting subtle strikes in deeper water. I like a braided line such as “Spiderline” for this. I always use the “Spiderline” in stained water, but at places like Table Rock Lake in Missouri, and some other clear water areas around the country, I use a Fluorocarbon line, as the braids are easier for the bass to see. In most of the clear, deep, highland reservoirs that we fish, this is very important. Also, by using a fluorocarbon line, I can go up in size to a higher pound test without the bass being able to detect it. This type of fishing is really a “Finesse” technique, a term which has been abused in recent years by many anglers. If you aren’t delivering a small bait, on light line, in fairly deep water, then I don’t really consider it finesse fishing. WEIGHTS You can use almost any kind of sinker for this technique, but I really like to use the “quick release” style of weights. If the conditions on the water change, such as the wind picking up, the current increasing, or if you move to deeper water, you can quickly change to a heavier weight without having to retie. Some examples of this type of weight are the Duel Quick Change Lead Sinker, and the Zappu. These rigs are specifically tailored for drop-shotting techniques. Another really good type sinker that we found recently, is the Bakudan. This weight is ball shaped, as has a swivel-like line tie that reduces line twist. Line twist can sometimes be a problem with these rigs in wind, or deep water situations, and anything that helps reduce this is a definite plus. This type of weight also has something the others don’t. It has a line clip that lets you change the distance between the lure and the weight, without having to retie. Another method for changing the sinker quickly is to simply tie a loop at the end of the drop-shot leader using an overhand surgeon’s loop. To properly fish this, and other rigs, a knowledge of many different knots is recommended. Practice tying these knots in the off season, and it will increase the time you spend fishing, instead of tying. Another technique for drop-shotting, is to tie a regular bass jig, (usually a 1/4 to 3/4 of an ounce), at the leader end instead of the lead weight. With a surgeon’s loop, different weight jigs can be changed quickly. Sometimes, the bass will hit the jig while you are using the drop-shot rig in your usual areas. Some anglers like to use a “pinch-on” split shot also. You can also thread a bullet weight on the drop-shot leader, below the hook and lure, with a split shot squeezed on below the bullet weight to hold it in place. More weight can easily be added to this rig quickly, and you can spend more time fishing. TYING THE HOOKS Tying the hooks on drop-shots is a refined technique, and can be done a couple of ways. I always use a Palomar knot, beginning the knot on the hook point side. This is done before tying the rig on the sinker. This is done so that the hook lays at a right angle to the leader. This is a better way to get a good hookset on light biters. Another way can be to take the leader end, after the Palomar is tied, and thread it back through the hook eye, then attach the rig lead. This way the hook shank lays against the line, which I believe, improves hookups. PLASTIC BAITS I like to use a variety of soft plastics on these rigs, but most of the time, I use a small 4″ finesse worm, or a Yamamoto “Senko,” in the 4 inch size. Another good choice is the French Fry worm, and other types of hand poured plastic baits, such as a Roboworm. A small tube can also be effective, as can a Yamamoto spider grub. This is only one of many great finesse fishing techniques that produce bass when they are deep, or highly pressured. Learning the many different techniques available today, will help you put more bass into the boat when they are hard to catch.

California DUI Attorney & Drunk Driving Lawyers in California

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Todd Going There were almost 200,000 people arrested for DUI in California alone last year. Out of those numbers there were just over 180,000 were misdemeanor offenses and a large portion of those cases were overturned by DUI lawyers. DUI is an acronym that stands for Driving Under the Influence. A person is guilty of a DUI if they decide to operate a motor vehicle after the consumption of alcoholic beverages or any chemical or controlled substances. In California, there are a wide variety of laws that involve intoxicated individuals. California has some of the most severe penalties for driving under the influence in all of the United States. The two major factors in deciding the penalty for a drunken driving offense in California depends on how much alcohol was in your system and whether or not you are a repeat offender. If it is your first DUI offense, then you will most likely avoid jail time, however most counties in California will provide you with an alternative such as trash pick up. If this is your second arrest with a ten year period, then the chances of you going to jail are much higher. In California you cannot drive a motor vehicle if your BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) is over .08%. After youve been pulled over, the officer will administer a test giving you the choice of blood, breath or urine. Breath tests are the most common, and the device used to measure your BAC with your breath is called a breathalyzer. Many times people dont know when enough is enough while theyve been drinking. Because of this, getting behind the wheel puts them in even greater jeopardy. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to limit your alcohol intake to only one drink an hour. After youve consumed an alcoholic drink, follow that with a full glass of water. This will help reduce your BAC and keep you under the legal limit. If you have been arrested for a DUI offense in California it is very important that you contact an experienced DUI lawyer today. An experienced DUI lawyer will stand up for your rights and help you fight your case.

Do We Still Need Wedding Traditions?

Monday, July 16th, 2007

By Lorna Mclaren Traditionally at weddings the speechs are made after the wedding dinner but do the speech makers really enjoy their meal? I have been to weddings where the best man could not eat his dinner because of nerves!! Traditions come into being when many people do the same thing over and over again so by definition we can start our own traditions to suit the times in which we live. So when it comes to speaking and eating at a wedding then why not reverse the order and let everyone enjoy their meal!! Now more than ever before we stand up for the right to express our individuality so why on one of our most precious of days do we feel bound by the past and what is traditional? Our wedding day should be an expression of who we are, of who these two people are and how they are going to mix. Once you have decided on what time of year is best for you, you have your colorscheme planned, your reception decorations are in hand and your favors are ordered then you can decide how traditional you want to be. Some traditions are “broken” by circumstance. A daughter whose father has passed can be walked down the aisle by a brother, uncle, family friend or by her mother. Father-of -the-bride speech can be delivered by mother-of-the-bride. Likewise sister or aunt can stand in for the mother-of-the-bride. If these traditions can be put to one side because of circumstance then why not others that are not particularly practical? Your wedding day should be one that becomes a cherished memory not one that if you could do it again you would do differently!

Getting Married? Talk About the Hard Topics Now, When You’re Feeling Good!

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

By Kimberly Talley Your big day is approaching. Youll be showered with congratulations, money, gifts, attention, and more. Its great to feel ecstatic, hopeful, and energized about your big day, honeymoon, and plans thereafter. Truly, this is a glorious time for you, so celebrate! Twirl in your gown, strut in your tux, and feel overjoyed with this exciting milestone in your life. Its been months of upbeat planning. And, you probably know intellectually that after the wedding, life returns to its normal pace. But, are you really prepared to live with your partner when all the excitement naturally fades? Like all new things, the novelty of the wedding eventually wears off. Yet, this gift of marriage is a life-time agreement. Most couples are well prepared for their wedding, but ill-prepared for marriage. Its absolutely fine to fantasize about your wedding, but are you creating unrealistic expectations fantasizing about marriage? Okay, so you might be thinking, who wants to think of marriage troubles with all this excitement? This isnt an attempt to rain on your parade. In fact, I want your parade to keep on marching with an upbeat swing after the wedding. So, consider this.the best time to talk about building a healthy marriage is now. Take a proactive stand to protect your marriage from the most preventative and detrimental conflicts. You will eventually need to communicate your preferences, expectations, goals, strengths, weaknesses, and more. If you want your marriage to stay in a happy place, then take time to discuss some of the hard topics when youre feeling the most optimistic about your life together. Touchy subjects dont get easier to discuss when youre irritated, hurt, or angry. These emotions weaken your ability to empathize and consider your partners perspective. So talk about it now, when youre feeling good! Kimberly Talley operates a Life & Relationship Coaching private practice in Maryland. She offers working solutions to singles and couples facing scores of challenges with personal fulfillment, dating, and marriage. Kimberly serves as a Counselor and Adjunct Professor at a Maryland college, leads workshops, and offers teleconferences and private coaching services to people nationwide.
