Great video rob..i used to fish with him at corona..tight lines

Right on. Hes a great guy 🤘

[@waguni]

You legend. Thanks for the great tips on drop shotting. I recently tried the Carolina keepers you use but I’ve had a few times where the keeper will slide down all the way to my hook. Does this happen to you often?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

It can happen if your using a sinker thats too heavy. When I use 1/2oz egg sinkers it will sometimes slide. If that happens I just put 2 Carolina keepers together and that solves the problem 🤘

[@JoeD.294.]

Like most people i used to rig the Carolina the old way.The Carolina keepers have made life much easier . Being a simple man I'm sticking to the Carolina keeper. To each is own though.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Yeah the carolina keeper is the way for me for sure

[@noedelatorre6597]

Good job man nice fishing 🎣

[@Edwardcruzz13]

Professor Rob!..😊 How far apart do "YOU" have both lures on a double drop shot and from the weight ? ,ty brother !

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

About 6” away from the weight and 10-14” between hooks but I never measure it just approximate

[@funkehouse]

Don't be afraid to move spots and sit in a River lakes also! I didn't catch anything at my first spot. Drop shot mice tails, and also bait and wait in mice tails. I was in Chris's pond, decided to move about 150 yards to the west and I caught my limit in about 2 hours. I spent about three or four hours at the first spot without a single bite. Sometimes you just got to move! I always try to fish at least two different spots if I'm going to spend the day at the mud hole

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Absolutely right 🤘

[@whirewalltires]

cool video, we also use his hook remover they work well, let me know what you think about bait and wait with braid, thanks Rob

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I definitely will 🤘

[@highthai7]

When you use straight flourocarbon on your bait reel do you have backlash/springy line issues?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

A bit but nowhere near as bad as mono. A good trick when you re spool a reel, remove the spool and run hot water over the line in the spool. The hot water helps form the line to your spool and youll have a much better time

[@JesusLORD690]

Thank you Rob, what is the shortest drop shot and jig rod would you recommend? And what would be the max length for it as well, definitely appreciate your content

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Id say 7’6” is the shortest you should go if you can help it. I know there are a few out there that use a 9’ but the longest ive used is 8’

[@funkehouse]

Rob If you had to pick one spot at each trout lake at SARL to fish at which would it be?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Probably sandy beach in the big lake and connies corner in the pond

[@dvcode5077]

been trying drop shot setup at lake hemet, no luck yet. but still trying. 👍

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Right on, keep at it. Hemet is a shallow lake in alot of areas. You may want to try a 3/32 or 1/8 dropshot weight to get it out further. It may be that the trout just haven’t seen your presentation yet

[@SIRKSxFUNK]

Just went fishing to Santa Ana River on Friday caught my limit within 3 hours. I learned how to drop shot from a friend

[@georgecisneroz597]

What rod holder do you use? Nice vid..

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

The tall ones were given to me by a friend who no longer makes them. The spring loaded ones I got on Amazon here is the link LULUME Stainless Steel Rod Stand... www.amazon.com/dp/B07TWVL23J?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@funkehouse]

Why are there no cars there was this on stocking day?! Lol I was there on Friday and it was packed lol

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I typically go on Wednesdays just to avoid the crowds

[@josueosegueda6229]

Don’t copy my colors man 😂 good times with you brotha

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Lol

[@alexchao6062]

Where can I find the Rod holder that you guys are using in the video?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Here is the link LULUME Stainless Steel Rod Stand... www.amazon.com/dp/B07TWVL23J?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@michaelg752]

Where do they sell those Katana K5 rods?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

They will be available via Instagram around the first week of April @katanarods2022 or @gsfcustombaits

[@Andrew-yw8ne]

Comment isn’t about this video but what up with GVL any news was disappointed that they closed early because of the stuff in the water

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I don’t know what happened over there. This is the first im hearing of it. I haven’t been over there in a while.

[@funkehouse]

Can you explain what you're talking about I haven't heard about this yet

[@Andrew-yw8ne]

Remember last summer or so they stopped stocking GVL because I think it was algae that killed a HUGE amount of fish and they stopped stocking early because of it happened like mid ways through the season I believe

[@Andrew-yw8ne]

It was all over Facebook floating dead fish everywhere and the water was like green

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

@@Andrew-yw8ne oh I miss read it, i thought you were talking about DVL haha. They always stop stocking in September and close in October. The algae happens there every year unless they are able to successfully treat the water. The algae doesn’t hurt the fish its warm water and a lack of oxygen. They lost a few fish on the last stock but the bulk of the trout were still in there at the base of the aerators sucking up oxygen and laying low. They just wouldn’t bite. They are currently doing things to improve the water quality issues that happen in late summer/early fall

[@gunshotz2]

I love the vids but it’s not that complicated 2-4 pound line with a single hook mice tail and split shot or treble hook with powerbait and split shot

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Well you have to remember that alot of this is for complete beginners so I always try to really break it down for folks that are trying to learn but have little to no experience 🤘

[@gunshotz2]

@@SeaSpankerOutdoorsdefined agree great vid very informative tho I can see myself using this if I was starting out

[@gunshotz2]

Also I have a lot of luck with with tube jigs or crappie jigs white works best

[@Edwardcruzz13]

Sorry, "HAPPY RESERECTIOIN DAY"!!!

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Happy Easter bro 🤘
