Can you drop shot on riprap? I was gonna try by using cheap split shots weights so if you loose some who cares, seams like it would work with the bait above the rocks? Who knows?

I've had success early morning and late with a slow retrieve large Jitterbug , then a nail weighted Craw/Orange Senko, throwing it to the rock and slowly dragging it downhill , I've seen no rhyme nor reason as to the depth they hit it, anywhere from the first fall in 2 FOW to 10-12 FOW right before I reel it back in. This is steep bank riprap. I can't keep a T Rig from hanging up , the nail weighted Senko not too much.


GOD is good!

Fairfield. 1/16th weighted weedless wacky rigged Senko. Watermelon/red/black fleck. The northern end of the lake in 8-10 ft (the boat), across from the spillway, casting to the edge of the Hydrilla.

Can’t get more specific than that. Using a Falcon Lowrider 7’ medium fast rod with a Shimano Stradic FI reel. 20lb power pro super slick 8 with a 7’ 8lb Seaguar InvisX leader. Cast it out, let it drop a 8 seconds (4ft)...shake it, lift it, repeat.


Eat. Sleep. Fish.
