Hey! Nice video. This is a technique that many people give up on due to snags... any tips on how to avoid getting that weight stuck between rocks at a lake like Wallenpaupack???

HI Trevor, I fish this rig at the Pack often and very rarely snag. I can think of a few reasons why this is so. 1) I use a tear drop shape drop shot weight in the lightest weight I can get away with. Windier days demand heavier weights. 2) I primarily fish this in water deeper than 12 feet, mostly in 18 to 24 feet deep where there are less snags and usually more smallmouths. 3) Although I maintain bottom contact with the weight, I don't usually allow the bait to fall to the bottom. Hope this helps.

I fish the Keitech fat swing impact 2.8” and the 3” Easy Shiner. The reservoir I fish has Alewife and this is the pattern I fish the most. I take a red marker and mark the tail. I also put Pro Cure Bass scent on. If I’m searching I prefer fishing these baits on a Matt Stephan Guppy head with a size 1/0 hook in 3/16 or 1/4 ounce weights.

Glad to see that your health has improved and that you are back making great videos again. Drifting with a drop shot is an interesting approach. Thanks for sharing!

Haven't got out to fish this year. I managed to mod my OLDTOWN TOP WATER 106 kayak with legal lights and trolling motor but the heat and humidity kept me home because of my lungs. Maybe I can finally get out. I do miss my bass boat for sure. Take care my friend and tight lines.

Do you ever use live bait like a minnow on the drop shot rig?

I don't because I only fish artificials, but I am sure this would be a very effective technique.

One of my favorite ways to fish. Recently was up fishing the Niagara river in Buffalo NY, was using 3" gulp darter shad in white and chartruce, we killed them. Fun Fun Fun.

Thanks Den! I just found your channel today and enjoy your content. I live in Sussex county NJ and am looking to get out on Wallenpaupack in the spring. Can you give a recommendation for a ramp with adequate parking. Best,
@fishden365

The ramp with the most parking is the public ramp in Mangan cove. It is the fish commission launch off of Rt 590. There are several other private fee launches with smaller parking lots. The best of which is Capri just a bit further down off of Rt 590. Spring is a great time to fish at the Pack.

Also love the Gulp lineup at Wallenpaupack. But have to say the flatworm is my favorite. What rod are you using?

Great video! Thanks for all of the knowledge. Can i ask what kind/lb leader you are using? Fluorocarbon? Thanks!

Here is a link to a video on the subject: studio.kzitem.infoXx-Vg0TbF64/edit In general I use a mono leader for topwater because it floats and a fluoro leader for baits meant to sink. I use straight braid when fishing heavy weeds like milfoil or pads.

My understanding is that the crankbait bite is on right now.!
