Great video! Thanks for sharing my friend!

Love the dropshot. I need to start using the shakey head more. Good stuff.

[@redclayoutdoors]

I don’t know why it gets so much hate

[@SamPirtle]

Solid video! I'm a die hard Roboworm guy for shakey heads and drop shots, and I've found that the morning dawn like colors are my go to. Not sure if it is because the fish don't see them as much as green pumpkin or what.

[@redclayoutdoors]

It’s just a confidence thing man. I have a crap ton of robo worms myself that I intend to put mor time into fishing but when I’m having a bad day and really just need to land some fish the watermelon candy zoom magnum shakey head is my go to.

Put me from no fish to 5th place finish in the last 3 hours of the last tournament I fished and in a tiny area.

Great video and good instruction!

I have never caught a fish on a shakey head in my life. Ironically, I have caught a ton on a ned rig. I love the dropshot though.

[@yakkittymack]

Love the yak! So, I have never used a shaky head and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. I do have a question....you caught that bass in what appears to me as "open" water that you described as being a flat that leads to spawning area. How the hell do you know that? I would have never thrown in the area you did and thus I wouldn't have caught that fish you did.

@@yakkittymack map study, weather trends, research on the lake itself. This was spring time so I know the bass should be moving towards spawning grounds. I checked main lake points and secondary points without much success so I worked further back into this creek arm closer to the back pocket where bass will spawn. If you look at this particular area on a map you have a really deep creek channel that leads all the way to the back of this creek and in this particular area it forks and creates this shallow flat in the middle. So I have two channels that are maybe 20 feet deep to either side of me and I’m sitting in like 6 feet in the middle. By fishing it and scanning over i found it was pretty hard bottom with grass and a couple of brush piles. So you have quick access to deeper water, bass highway(defined creek channels) leading all the way into the pocket, and good structure and cover for the bass to pull up on in transition.

@@yakkittymack mi biggest fish have all come off offshore humps,points,ledges,ditches ect.. fishing the map and not with my eyes. This is also where you will find schools and catch a limit without ever moving your kayak. Downside is they can move overnight. That’s where I’ve really been studying this year is where are these bass going when the conditions are bad. What happens on those crazy post frontal spring days? I’ve found a humm practice the day before a tournament and got 3 good bites on a square bill 1 fish being 21” and the other two feeling really close but I let them shake the square bill to try not to burn the spot. That night had a major storm come through so tournament day crazy post frontal spring day threading 30 mile an hour gust starting at 12pm. I had a small window to make the offshore bit happen so I went back out to my spot and caught one 17” bass and then a bunch of white bass. My big fish were gone. There were a couple other humps very similar in this area so I checked those to see if the moved up with no success. So where do they go? It’s possible they were just suspended off the side of it over the channel with no real way for me to target them but it’s also possible they moved back out towards main lake points. That’s where studying bass behavior comes into play.

[@yakkittymack]

@@redclayoutdoors very nice and thoughtful response. It's that kind of insight that will help me learn. You are the 3rd person in the last days that have told me to fish off the bank structure that I can't see. Essentially. So, now I gotta try to figure out how to do that and when to fish that because I'm sure they won't always be there. I'm going Sunday to scout the place of our next tournament and try to put some of these ideas into play. The place we are headed to next is fed by the mobile bay to the south and river delta to the north so it's brackish and my plan is try to head up one of the rivers and find some less salty water. The only real map I have to go by is Google Earth....so I'm pretty sure that isn't the type of map you're talking about. Thanks again friend!

River bites are very current driven, idk how much flow the particular river is you are thinking about fishing has but if it fluctuates at all you need to take that into account. Typically for a good offshore bite on a river system you need current. If there’s not any current I’d go super shallow and find grass if you have any available.

[@JoshB-Fishin]

I’m terrible at the drop shot, it’s been an area of improvement for me this year. Otherwise the other two I’ve nailed some decent bass on.

[@redclayoutdoors]

I’m working on it as well but it has been putting fish in the boat for me
