Does A DROP SHOT Work In Ponds? (100 Ponds Ep. 43)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- When choosing lures for pond bass fishing, most anglers think a Drop Shot will NOT work, but they are very wrong! On today's pond, I go through a progression of lures until I find WHAT they are biting on, and WHERE they are living at! In this series my goal is to fish 100 different ponds for bass and teach you everything I learn along the way!

Hey can you not cut the clip when you’re tying on the lures?? It would help beginners actually seeing the process.. I’m beginner😂
@@JamesRubin457 go look up videos of how to tie the polymar knot. When I can’t tie the polomar knot I use the improved clinch knot
Drop shots can work magic in ponds especially in winter and summer. Whenever I’m not catching fish in a pond, I find the deeper water and throw a dropshot and it almost always catches fish for me
Been saying it for years
Those two seasons especially
@@TylersReelFishing yes
Not big on religion but I love how much you advocate your faith with out pushing it on us, can Def tell its a big part of who you are and what you do!
When you’ve experienced what the love of Christ feels like and how following him impacts your life, you can’t possibly be silent about it. Just sharing what God has done in my life, hoping people can choose to experience that too
Thank you for putting awesome fishing content out there and promoting the love of Christ at the same time.
Can’t be ashamed of the reason I live my life!
Let’s gooooo! A Saturday 100 ponds video. Thanks Tyler
Every Saturday!
Love jumping on with a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning and watch you catch fish, sir. Thanks! :)
Glad you enjoy it!
The drop shot slays in ponds!
It really does
Dude, 357k subs. Way to go!!
Love the intro 100 ponds!
Love the videos man keep it up 🎉
Best Saturday morning content!
Heck yeah!
I bought a 40L generic tackle backpack for fishing and found I really don’t like my tackle boxes being vertical. Definitely going to check out the evolution bag. I’m all about the bank fishing life and it looks like the ideal solution for me. Thanks for the video. God bless you for all you do! I appreciate the help learning how to fish properly.
Check it out! And I’m so glad I can help 👍🏼
Gotta love this series as a pond hopper 🤙🤙
Heck yeah!
I think many bass pro tend to forget that the majority of bass fisherman are shore anglers. Looking forward to more of this series. Love the dropshot it maybe a slower technique and not ideal for covering water but man is it reliable. Cheers!
I ain’t forgetting, that’s for sure!
At my favorite pond by my house the drop shot is my go to for sure. They smash some morning dawn there 🙌🏼 keep the pond vids coming
Will do! Keep the comments coming!
Thanks for the video, as a pond fisherman this video gives me some confidence to try the dropshot.
Go for it!
180 feet casts ✌
Good Job Tyler !! Remember to do a Bible church again !! Can't wait !! When fishing tap into that "epic" we all know what that about !
Thx for the info
You bet!
Same feelings about the DS rig. Works in highly pressured waters.
For sure
Hey, that’s my spot man!
Tried to help my lil bro catch his first topwater bass and he pulls out an 8 LBER 😂 2 pounds more than my pb 😅
I usually fish the backside of the first pond. I've caught some 2s and low 3s, but no bigs. You can catch some numbers there however if you're lucky 😊
Drop shot is just an amazing bait
It really is
Just wanna say , love the bassforcast app 🤜🏼
Thanks for saying that!
Thanks for the videos Tyler! If you had to choose just 3 rod setups for pond/bank fishing, what would you pick? So far I have a 7' Medium Spinning Rod and a 7'1 Medium Heavy Bait caster and I'm looking to add 1 more to my arsenal.
Thanks!
Few things:
1. The CUT R Worm does not get enough love for ponds! It’s my go to! Black and blue, watermelon red or the pearl/green with a 1/8-1/4 bullet weight. I fish it near ledges/drops, open water near the middle, and even started pegging it and bounding it up from the bottom. And the RAGE TOAD!
2. Do you feel something like Bait Fuel helps with lost fish? I primarily fish kayak tournaments. I need 100% of my catches in the boat. I don’t lose fish often. Not even 1 a month. But I feel that a person right behind me was using it and would clean up my spots right after I fished. Do you think this is an attractant/presentation issue? Or simply a timing/right place right time issue.
3. Sometimes we need a break from catching regular bass and something to break up the monotony. I challenge you to go after some shoal bass in Al or MI. Go for some peacock in FL. It was a great change of pace for me and I feel like I learned more about largies doing those fishing trips than I did before that. Just behaviors and ways the feed. (I know peacocks aren’t actually the same family as bass. I get it.)
4. Thank you for doing this series. As much as I appreciate the kayak uncuts I really wish when I started fishing people were beating the banks with me. I feel like I was one step infront of some bigger UA-camrs but I’ve stayed at the kayak where a lot have moved past straight into boats. So I appreciate it when someone is able to take a step back and appeal to more demographics.
1. Yes I think it’s underrated as well!
2. Nah, I ain’t seen enough real life evidence to make me believe scent makes a noticeable difference
3. Man, personally I’d like to, but other styles of content just doesn’t get the views, so monetarily I can’t justify it. This is my full time job, so I gotta make decisions to provide for my family.
4. I love all types of fishing! Don’t wanna alienate boat, bank, or kayak! I am grateful I get to do it all
Could you do a video on EWG hooks vs WG hooks?
Hey Tyler, what about fishing from shore on lakes for bass? Ik it’s not very smart to do but I’ve been wondering what my best shot is for catching fish in that situation. I live by a small lake. It’s like a massive pond.
Drop shot is just so good. If I'm not catching fish, it's my go-to. If I'm still not catching fish, I am in the wrong time window, the wrong area of the lake or pond, (edit) or using the wrong colors. I also like that instead of just the standard drop shot, power or cover shot is an option.
Another great video!
It really is
Good job Tyler! Your explanation as to what you are doing and why is important for other anglers. You video presentations skills are really developing nicely. It also seems like you've slowed down in your speech cadence. As far as this site, it seems to have potential on the other side and hopefully you figure out how to access it.
Definitely trying to slow down, it’s a process lol
I'm definitely tieing on a dropshot now. I mainly do bank fishing and didn't realize this would work so well
Go for it!
Love the vids Tyler! What are you gonna do when you hit your 100th pond?
You’ll have to wait and see!
My girlfriend caught her first bass on artificial yesterday! Can’t wait till I can stop buying live bait and be having to constantly bait her hook after Gobi’s and Bluegill’s steal her worms every 5 mins.
What combo are you using for the drop shot
I caught my PB for largemouth(4.8 lbs) in a pond, on a drop-shot. It was mid-October
Nice!
It's not likely this content creator will ever read this but for those who stumble onto my comment, I tried fishing the drop shot for the first time several years ago.
I didn't catch a darn thing for the longest time. I'd get bite once in a while, but I never brought any fish in. Out of desperation I decided to try fishing a drop shot using a finesse bass jig in the place of the traditional drop shot sinker.
Being a bank fisherman, I never really knew what part or level of the water the bass were holding in so, I concluded that by using a drop shot with my finesse bass jig dragging the bottom of my fishing waters, it gave me a lure in two different levels the water I was fishing in.
More than once, I've caught a bass on the finesse jig weight and as I reeled that fish in, I'd get a second fish bite the drop shot. I've also gotten fish on drop shot with a second fish hitting jig as I reeled in. In Arizona it's legal to fish with two separate hooks on the same line so it's works out good for me; I mean, better than fishing the drop shot alone with a conventional drop shot sinker.
Super smart gonna try that
Great idea, your onto something with this rig.
I’ll be trying this with a ned rig this summer, we’ll see how it goes
What knot do you use for your spinning rod
I committed to the drop shot this year and have landed a few.
Awesome!
Hey Tyler! So I haven’t ever really used the dropshot, and when I hook it up, the hook sits straight down and not horizontal. Could it be the weight? Does it depend on your rigging?
Do a video strictly with a vmc rugby jig and swim baits I fish it year around with luck
Hey Tyler what would you recommend I should use in a pond that is relatively shallow, has medium visibility with hot weather and plants that are around the pond’s perimeter?
Wacky worm
Everything I did in this video
Sorry if this was asked already, what is the pink colored braid you have on your dropshot reel?
It’s a new JDM braid from Seaguar. Not sure how I feel about it for the price. It is the thinnest braid per pound test I’ve ever used, but I don’t know if it’s necessary. Might go back to smackdown
Edit: although maybe for bank fishing it would be a help so I can make further casts toward the middle. Well keep testing
Hey Tyler I know your always busy but I was just wondering if you have ever checked out Breckenridge park in Richardson TX maybe on just maps? Just wanted to see if you could catch that 7lber in there
I think it’s on my list
@@TylersReelFishing awesome good luck if you go. Lots of snags there but big fish at the same time
Hi Tyler I have a private pond in California with a bunch of big bass. And the forage is crawdads, bluegills, and trout if you want to come up to the pond let me know I think it will be fun for your 100 pond series Please respond!
Email the location to me! Would love to fish it. TylersReelFishing@gmail.com
Hey Tyler i just got my first kayak should i fish lakes of rivers also i love your content i have almost watched all your videos
Fish it all when you can.
Fish all of it!
Great video and great information thank you I need you to send me one of your used combo so maybe it will a lucky charm
Check for ticks.
do you normally let a chatter bait hit the bottom before retrieving it? or is it situational?
Situational. If it’s thick grass I don’t, but everywhere else I do
@@TylersReelFishing Thank you Tyler. much appreciated
Most ponds built in the last 15+ years have a shallow water “ledge” and then a “drop off”. I have heard some call it a “Baby Killer” as a child can “wade out” a little and it will only be up to 3’ deep but then the drop off occurs. The wall of the drop off is usually clay or some slippery surface and it is near impossible to “climb up” the drop off.
Alpha Bass patrol this drop off. If the little bass are biting, the Alpha is in Neutral or Negative mode. If Alpha switches into Positive mode (I have yet to see a sign signaling the change), smaller bass will inspect the baits but have to wait for the Alphas to “pass” on the bait. I have witnessed this 10’s of times.
On one Pond I know and fish my friend who built the pond has trained an Alpha smallmouth bass to take a piece of a hotdog out of his fingers and I have video to prove it!
Here is a fun fact:
Often you will see bass chasing along a just hooked bass. Common theory is that those bass want that bait. Truth is bass eat bass and are always trying to identify a weak fish. We will attract a bunch of smallmouth bass and bluegill in at Feeding Time and throw hotdog pieces and whole hotdogs out. In the Spring fed, crystal clear water, we will see the bluegill eat the hotdog pieces, small bass will strike the bluegill and Alpha Bass will literally eat a whole smallmouth bass!
I have trimmed a fin on a bluegill and returned it to the water. The other bluegill will begin to “bump” the bluegill and eventually remove its back fin so it can not maneuver and the other bluegill will eventually eat it. Not cool so we try to teach careful handling of All fish. Bass are always “testing” other bass by swimming alongside and literally bumping them! Marine Life is soooo facilitating.
Be well.
Great input!
I know you’re primarily a bass fisherman, but do you ever fish streams and rivers?
Sometimes! You’ll see a few rivers this summer
@@TylersReelFishing beautiful! I’m completely new to the sport
Have you fished in Alabama yet if so what episode and pond number
I don’t think I have, but I will in the 90’s
@@TylersReelFishing that’ll be cool man plus you are about the only UA-camr that replies to my comments bro thanks a lot bro 🤝

Making me regret selling my bicycle
I literally just rigged a drop shot today and got em when nothing else was hitting
Classic
I feel like the dropshot is one of very few lures that work no matter what

GASH DARN : Euphemistic form of goddamn. Exodus 20:7 Bless you sir
You’re the only one who used God’s name in vain here lol. If “Gash Darn” is the same, then so is “ah bummer”. I don’t use God’s name in vain, with bad words or non-bad words
Dumb question change title
It got me to click on the video…
Bingo
If you ever come to Indiana I have a pond that is LOADED with monster bass and would make for a Banger episode! Please consider it💯🤝 if you do we gotta get in contact so I can tell you where it’s located
