Vertical Spooning and dropshotting still working on Bull. Mostly Spots, but a few LMB and SMB. Here’s one Spot caught on a drop shot w/Roboworm in 40 ft of water.

That is a nice one.
Love those football spots!
A 3# Spot pulls like a 6# Largemouth!

Here’s a pic of Gene Merrick with his 3rd keeper Spot. It got hot around 10:00 and we left early.

What's your favorite Roboworm? (That is, if it is not a secret).Went out this morning to locate some more Spots. Found some holding on a channel swing at 20’ to 30’ depth in 35’ to 90’ of water.

Oops, double post.

I think it’s called a Red Crawler Jeff. 4 - 5” in length (3 yr old worms, not sure of size/color). When that doesn’t work I use some KVD Cream Shot worms (Ghost Shad, Dirt, etc.).
I grew up in MI and iced fished every winter. Yes, spooning it’s very similat to techniques used for ice fishing. But, we would also occasionally use those cheap little rigs with the flag that would pop up when we had a fish on. Lazy boy’s ice fishing.Vertical Spooning & Drop Shotting << isn't that similar to ice fishing in a hole ?? jerking rod up and down? last ice fishing I done , was like 60 yrs ago when in Colorado Dead of winter Ice Fishing for trout, when a kid.. lolo..

Thanks, I'm always looking at drop shot baits.
Looked at the pkg and it is 4.5” Red Crawler. Here’s a pic:
In Colorado was out door open on lake, nothing but a bucket to sit on... many years later..watching GrUmPy OLD Men, that fishing shack be the way to go ICE FISHING

That was a great movie.
Fishing shack with generator, TV, outdoor antennae, auger to cut hole in ice, six pack in the cooler. All the conveniences of home! Not the way we ice fished, but that’s the way to go!
All ice fishing has alcohol involved. Watching them all walk back late in the day and try to stay upright was some spectator fun.
