Kevin Skovenski I'm pretty sure you can shoot videos there. If not just let me know and I'll figure out another way. Thanks for sharing this.

Brian Barde I'm going to give you a little quiz here. I know you've been participating in almost every video from the start. 

What environmental factor triggers everything about bass migration and movement? ( fall fishing classes)

How do we breakdown a fishery to find the ideal fishing location? ( addressing the choosing lures question here we discussed in fall fishing class) 

What do bass focus on after the spawn? (discussion during fall fishing class)

Here’s some additional content you could look at for more Dropshot tips as wellhttps://youtu.be/__UAWz43hKg?si=3Im2gPyrRI2CHIJJ

Here’s a in depth video about how I rig other baits than the ones in this video as wellhttps://youtu.be/3He__3K8c_0?si=s2kucgeA_dRal1Z4

Here’s some other videos that may help you with Dropshot in the winterhttps://youtu.be/3rRvCIm11fY?si=XW0_KAS0Cb7Ax2Fy

15 pound braid.  To me it's the perfect size not to get so many wind knots. you can use smaller and be fine just know that it gets a few more line twists and you'll have more wind knots.  BUT IT STILL WORKS FINE!  I like 8lb and 10lb flurocarbon

My first thought is something along the lines of how fish behave in muddy water, windy conditions, cloudy and rainy conditions etc. Is that what you mean?

Jacob Bowland a place like hartwell there's so many fish and they see quite a bit of lures as well. That being said you do have to be very stealthy with your presentation.  Having the right color and the right plastic means a lot there.  I would definitely use a shad style bait like the one I mentioned here.  Worms seem to work better in the summer. Also I'd highly recommend focusing on fish that are centered around bait instead of brush. Brush works really well during the summer months but during the winter the fish are always bait oriented and seem to relate less to structure.  Use your side scan around timber lines, road beds, ditches and drains to look for shad then switch to LiveScope to refine the cast.

Honestly it's about convenience for me. I could come up with a lot of useless ideas but when I'm flipping a drop shot around structure and grass it's just really hard with a long leader.  For that reason I shorten the leader length.  It seems like the best length is about 8-14" depending on the scenario. That being shorter for tighter more accurate casting and longer when it doest matter as much or fishing vertical or fishing it in a open water situation.

Those spinning rods go fast man!!!! They should be back in first of the year but I'll ask and confirm.
