This is the same retrieve we use for golden perch and Australian bass here in Australia. It is so so effective!
Thank you Randy. I just caught my PB 19.5 inches, on a drop shot using your technique.
I feel like I am taking a college course between you, Jonny and Matt’s videos. I am so glad I found you guys.
A great video and rig this The Old Michigan Fisherman.🤠
That Hazedong shad on a drop shot is almost like fishing live bait. It's my new secret weapon, flat out catches them when nothing else will. Awesome bait!!
Hey I really appreciate the information I have been bass fishing for 3 years now, picked it up around 30 years old. One video I’d really like to see is rod selection for different type of techniques. I have trouble finding and understanding what rod to use and there is so much competing information.
Thank you!
Great info again, RB. The internet is such an unbelievable resource for people like me, who always had such a thirst for information, and so difficult to get good answers oftentimes.
Randy, I love to see you do a video with on the water presentation of your drop shot system.
Got a good feeling on this one!!Thanks Randy
I’m glad you’re back to doing tips.
I've been looking for a good dropshot video on how to work the bate. Thanks Randy
Thanks, Randy great tips there I will try it on our fish here.
Thank you Randy
Thanks a lot, Randy! Now everybody knows why I catch more crappie than they do! ;)
Thank you for sharing your technique. I like the short leader.
Appreciate the tip Randy & I can’t wait to try it on my lakes in/around Hot Springs, AR! Thank YOU for sharing!
Love the drop shot! Gonna try the shorter leader. Thanks Randy.
No wonder I can’t find a Whipsnake ANYWHERE Randy, you have them all😂😂😂
That's awesome thanks for sharing this 😀
That's how we catch them through the ice up here , watching them on our flasher. Great tips as always Randy!
Awesome tip. Gonna test it out this weekend. Thanks Randy
Good info,just setting up and trying this
caught a big ol trout today on the drop shot... just sitting on top of TONS of bass on the finder lol. not a single one took it but we also didn't really switch it up from a green pumpkin worm.
Many thanks. Another great video.
hi Randy!! great tip! I actually love that tiny bait in DS as well. Plus if you just wants #s of bass, hazedong terrific in ponds too. 👍
Awesome Randy can’t wait to give it a try!
Ingenious tip. So easy also. Thank you.
Awesome video Randy..not one my confidence Riggs but I will have to try it
Randy, go over the use of the stick bait (senko style) I know the "wacky style" but any other insight would be great. Oh, by the way, seal up the door over your left shoulder. I can see light coming in the top of it!!!
Love it man! I crappie fish with a dropshot a lot and swim it a bunch. The retrieve you mentioned I do with a jig for crappie and it's deadly. Definitely gonna try on bass with a dropshot. Thanks.
I'm a drop shot man so thanks for the info Randy.
Hello Randy. I really appreciate the knowledge that you share with us regular guy’s.
I have watched a couple of your braid to floro videos. I have been sucked into the thinking this is the way to go.
I love the feel I get with braid. It’s hard for me to walk away from it when Carolina Rigging.
This technique works really good in my home lake during the summer months.
The problem that I have been having is my braid is breaking at the swivel. I use a floro leader from the swivel to my bait.
I use 10 lb. braid to the swivel and 10 lb. floro to my lure.
I drag my rig up rocky drop offs. The rocks are effecting the braid as well as the weight sliding up and down.
What would you suggest I do? Since I am tied to a swivel, should I still use only floro!
Any advice would be truly appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Hey, i'm definitely not as knowledgeable as Randy, but just put a bead or 'sinker bumper' in between the swivel and your weight...that will stop the weight from weakening your knot. Happy fishing. :)
Leader length vertical is what it is. If you are casting, the length of the leader of will be twice what depth your lure runs.
Cool tip. Going to try for bass and for crappie
I too fish the short leader. Rarely longer than 6 inches. I will try this retrieve this weekend. Thanks again
Promise to use this tip for panfish next time out on the water. Thank you Randy.
Hey Randy, can you tell me why the pencil weight over the tear drop weight for drop shotting? I find I have a harder time feeling the bottom with the pencil weight.
Comes through brush better
It’s just what they had available at the tackle shop… I use both
Less snaggy
Awesome video. I’ll give that a try
Good stuff. Have been drop shot fishing almost exclusively this Spring and, I almost agree with you. But, instead of reeling slowly, I drag the bait like a jig and let off. I start with the line snug and raise the rod directly towards me. They can't stand it and, I probably get 90 of my bites like this! Can't wait to try the shorter leader this Summer!
Trying to find that same shad bait you mentioned.
Which one is it please?
Good to know thanks
I will definitely try that way next time out Thanks randy
O Randy, this is a really good video.....🔥
Great video as always thanks
The hazedong is noooo joke man. Amazing bait
Love a dropshot, and a short leader, although I've never gone quite THAT short. I would think the weight would be a visual deterrent in terms of the presentation. I'm def gonna try it, though.
great vid gotta try it
I fish from my yak, I don't have any electronics so I have never fished vertical with dropshot. I really just use dropshot cast & retrieve, worms & swimbaits. I don't shake it either just retrieve & stop every once n while. It is one of my favorites, I have had a dropshot set up on every trip out past 2 yrs, has been very productive for me some days. Definitely good tip, will have to try shorter leader
Thanks, I’ll probably try that this weekend
What would be awesome is if you could link to your tackle used in the video in your description. Gonna give drop shot a go this weekend.
Going to order some ASAP.👍
Great tip! Leaving my crappie jig still gets bites! Will try it for bass.
Drop shot rig is my go to rig year round when nothing else works
How's this bait compare to the keitech easy shad?
Works well with free rig as well. Slow reel till tight on the weight. Then backwards on the reel slowly to let it float up.
Oooohhhh this is a good one
Randy! I'll try it! I can't see that Megabass bait at Baitwrrx?
Same here, I want the color of the one in the video
I agree. A lot of my bites come with little to no movement of my drop shot.
Hey Randy, me and several others here would love to know the color of the bait in this video!! I just went to the site, but didn't see this color.
GREAT VIDEO 🔥🔥
Do you have any tips, mods, technique, trailer tips for chatter bait?
Little shad fish also works great on big trout!
It’s just a lil dipper reaction innovations. I bet those cost 3 times the packages.
If I am wrong please explain.I’m learning! I’m ate slap up with bass fishing.
Bought a 18 ft Alumacraft last year but didn’t put it in the water until May.
What rods, reels, lures would you take when a friend asks you along to go fishing on a shalowl, weedy lake? 4 or 5 rods maximum.
What's the best Hasedong shad color for the clear Ozarks lakes?
I remember or noticed years ago when spider rigging for crappie on a walleye lake I was catching more walleyes with just a small jig and worm or minnow about a foot off the bottom.
Many of the walleye tournament guys were struggling to find and catch eyes...
They just shook their head when they looked in my box!
Randy I am wondering what you think of the Tokyo Rig?????
Yes great tip but one more thing reel slowly up but when you get up so far let it drop back to bottom. Get a reaction bite sometimes.
Great tip. Probably catch more Crappie and Bass using your slow reel method.
fish n hook looked upside down on the first showing but at the end of the vid it looked like it was sitting right with the hook facing up
Thanks for that tip. How about some crappie videos?
I just moved to North East Alabama. Weiss Lake. I absolutely love this lake.
Does the weigh in stage go up anywhere? I don’t understand how bass won’t put an Elite up here on this treacherous bastard upriver. All buoy barge running markers for miles. It must be facilities.AS to why it has never been fished in a big time pro tournament on TV. I am Interested in your knowledge about Weiss or if either you or Johnny have ever come down from the hills to the holler. Ryan Upchurch ? I’m a holler boy myself .
What size hazedong shad do you use?
How to fish/tips on fishing tournament lakes that sprays their weeds regularly.
Slow reeling up AND slow drop too. Baitcasters work good for slowly letting the bait down. Put it on freespool and let the line out slowly by very gently thumbing the spool. The fish see the bait very slowly coming down towards them til they can't stand it. Then jerk it up.... BANG ! reaction bite ! Works for Walleye, bass, pike etc. By doing this, you'll be working the entire water column. The fish might be high in the water column. Why only fish one depth ?
Thanks, Randy! I love the Hazedong shot and love learning new ways to use it. Can’t wait to try this technique. I’ve also been experimenting with wacky rigging a hazedong Shad with success. Still playing with weight and retrieve but it’s been getting me some lethargic bass I couldn’t get on anything else
At the 2:05 mark, isn't your hook upside down? I thought the hook should always be facing up the line, not down.
how do you feel about a drop shot in the grass on the Potomac river
Working the bait like that the tail would have no action?
What color is the bait ?
Yup those baits do work, I have 6 packs of them. had 8 packs 2 weeks ago..
I’ll give it a try.
What is the name of the shade lure
Good video but seems I heard more about bass than crappie which was what the title suggested it was about 🙂
This is the same response you strive for while ice fishing for crappies. Watching your electronics and slowly reeling up as a teaser trying to trigger a reaction.
This is going to sound extremely elementary, but does it first require finding the fish before you start using the drop shot, or wacky rig, or any other finesse style? I guess my question is "How do I know when to use it, be it for bass or crappie?"
Find the fish on your down imaging first, then drop to them.
Lure was not in the Link that was on this Vid.
I bought a second TV so I could watch two of your episodes at the same time
Lol👍
@@randyblaukatintuitive I've been an avid saltwater fisherman for the last 15 years. I want to tell you that you have seriously made me such a better fisherman in the saltwater... Spending the last two years learning how to catch bass from you showed me more than I could of ever imagined. Using that knowledge in the saltwater truly works. I can't thank you enough! Nobody can compare to your RUclips channel.... Well except that dang Richard Gene... He is a fishing machine!
@@fishingwithtoogoods58 thx man!
Crappie and Moonfish are the same when it comes to jigging. A slow lift is by far the most effective retrieve.
What color name is that kind?
We don't have shad in Oregon. What now with a drop shot?
I'd still throw the hazedong, it looks like a ton of different bait fish, just match the color of the bait to whatever forage you have in your body of water, and you should see success
So matching the hatch isnt a myth?
Do you have anymore vids on dropshotting?
Yep you might check my past videos
Hey Randy,, that is a good tip for the boat but what about fishing from the bank?
It’s not really very efficient from the bank
@@randyblaukatintuitive thanks Randy. I really enjoy your content I am a new subscriber and I love finesse fishing , i’d love to see more videos on it. Keep up the good work
Does anyone ever put a knot on the dropshot weight? Or just pinch it in there. Cuts my line sometimes when I pinch it in there
I just cant make myself do this when i have a 12-16” worm on and there are brushpiles and sunken trees in the lake. Lol
When you talk drop shot you're speaking my language...😃
I know I’ve watched several videos with Aaron martens using that drop shot. He seems to be a master at it.
Going to order some hazedongs now.
Ya know, I consider myself a pretty fluent drop shot angler as well, and I swear to god, I would have NEVER thought that this worked........oh, but you can bet your ass I'm trying it.
........in about 20 minutes. Lol
And THANKS Randy. Absolutley love every video you put out there.
Well,,,,,,,,,,,,
