he best advice I can give another angler trying to get better at
T drop-shotting is to use it in a lot of places that other anglers don ’ t . I throw it in a foot of water or 125 feet of water . I throw it in clear water and dirty water . I throw it in timber and in grass , off points and on flats . If you think a bass is there , try a drop-shot .
If you put limits on when and where you use a tactic – like drop-shotting – you ’ re just putting limits on yourself and on your knowledge and skills with that technique . There ’ s no better way to learn and to catch a lot of fish than by realizing that there are no limits ; just restrictions we put on ourselves as anglers .
