jediangler Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It was hot and windless on lake Eugenia between 10am and 2pm today. Tried dropshotting for the first time after reading about it on the board. Caught this 14"er on a power jerk shad on a 4/0 hook 16" above a 1/4oz weedless jig & grub on a baitcasting set up. I don't like this style of fishing out of a kayak. I'm sure it's great from the nose of a bass boat. Picked up a couple little smallmouth as well as a rockbass and some dink perch on a 1/8oz jig & grub on the spinning rod before heading back to the car. The boat launch was a zoo at 2pm. Half a dozen waiting to put in and another half dozen waiting to come out. Only one little ramp for everybody. I just pulled up between sandcastles on the beach and dragged the yak to my car.

Guest Johnny Bass Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Nice bass. I too have been experimenting with drop shooting. A lot of success but nothing over a pound yet for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 No batttle from that guy Leechman, maybe if I was using the ultra-lite. With the baitcaster I just winched it in. The little smallies gave a better fight on the spinning rod. I'd take a 16" smallie over a 20" largie for the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve barrett Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Nice smallie.I don't think I have the nerve to fish in such a smallboat.But on a holiday weekend that boatlaunch is crazy. I tend to avoid it and fish during the week.Nice report always like to see one having great luck fishing Euginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Love them yak reports Jedi. I agree that smallies have more fight in 'em then largies. Could it be mouth envy? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool And I too would choose a smallie over a largie anytime.... they do put up a good fight. LM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
