Rockport Perch and Bass

[joatmon]

Catchinon and I were headed up there last Saturday but he couldn’t make it last minute so I made a solo trip and tried dropshotting for the first time. It worked well, but you must have educated all of the bigger fish. The biggest perch I caught was 7.5 inches, with the longest smallmouth going 7 inches. I also lost several drop shot weights. I may have taken a short cut a little on the jigs, but added some details to several Northland gum drop floating jig heads, see photo. Caught most fish on the greener version shown. 

Thanks for the inspiration! It made for a fun morning until the wind and waves came up and silted up the near shore water.
