Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hey Pardner, you haven't been around for a few days. Everything OK? Got a question for you about fishing. I Just discovered drop shot rigging. Have you ever used it and if so, has it been successful. I would take your word over the internet any day. I am thinking about rigging up for perch over in Lake Washington. What do you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 CB is alive and altho not kicking, in a pretty good mood today. He got out and shot with the Ozark Posse. A good time was had by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 BMC what NOZ , did not tell ya , is I shot pretty poor today , even for me as to the drop shot rig , I am NOT real hep on it , I have used it , BUT , I think the stand off needs to be a bit more that tight on the main line CB ain't cleaned yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 What kind of weight did you use and what size? I am wondering if the Palomar knot, is as good as they claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 BMC any split shot will do the job , weight depends on depth and size of the plastic bait I use the Palamor knot , almost all the time , only times I don't use it , is for small jigs and flys too hard to double the line , on small hook eyes , I used to be able to tye it in the dark , by feel , not so much anymore the nerve damage in the hands , took that away just be sure to wet the line , before ya pull it tight CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Is the line fished tight? Or do you allow slack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 pretty tight , about like fishing a Texas rigged worm , it is my thoughts , it was developed to fish above a mat of grass , of standing weeds pretty much like fishing bait on a river rig , keep the bait off the bottom , where the fish can see it better similar to bottom bouncing for walleye CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ditto what Bill said about wetting the line! I taught my a grandson the knot but failed to mention lubing the line before pulling it tight. He chunked five H&H spinner baits before coming and asking what was going on.

Tyrel Cody Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The Palomar is stronger and quicker to tie. Use it for Smallmouth Bass especially good for 4-6 lb line in clear water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Going with the palomar knot on Fluorocarbon line. Hook size for perch? 4 or 6? Split shot for weight at bottom of line. Any guarantees on how this will work? I want this experience to be catching, not fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Going with the palomar knot on Fluorocarbon line. Good combination, but use extra spit with the flourocarbon Hook size for perch? 4 or 6? 4 Split shot for weight at bottom of line. 1/8oz. Any guarantees on how this will work? Nope I want this experience to be catching, not fishing. Get some dynamite or an old crank telephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 BMC, Use one a them bell sinkers on the end of your line then tie two hooks, first one a foot and a half above that sinker, the other the same above that one. I make it easy and use a little plastic doodad to attach two snelled #6 hooks to the main line. A 1/4 ounce weight ought to do it. Bounce the weight on the bottom to kick up mud. The perch come over to feed on the stuff you stirred up. Put a garden worm on one and a small minnow on the other. The fish will tell you what they want from there.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks Slim. I got all my gear rigged up for perch, bass, steelhead, and Walleye.
