1.) I hate you guys LMAO I didn't even get my license yet this year and you guys are SERIOUSLY giving me the FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No offense, it was a joke.
2.) Nice Lightning rod
3.) It appears you are using a mouse pattern/streamer fly on spinning tackle? What's the technique there? Using current to your advantage or suspending it with a float and a split shot way up the line? I'm entranced ATM.....please elaborate if you don't mind disclosing secrets.....I have a friend who drifts flies on spinning gear religiously, but for trout.
4.) Nice early season bass.
5.) I need my license.........................................................like NOW!!!!!

We basically using that setup like a drop shot, the bass are really lethargic and the float n fly is a good way to get them to hit,

can you explain in a little more detail how it works?

Replace the dropshot hook with a fly and fish it the same way by jigging it. This time of year slower speeds are key

I have never used a dropshot before....this is kind of new to me. Treat me like a noob lol Tell me everything

Its a west coast technique used on super clear lakes but it'll work around here. Take either your main line or a flouro leader and type a dropper loop 2-3ft from the bottom or desired length. Then attach in this case a fly or traditionally a dropshot hook to the loop. Then the end of the line attach a weight they sell drop shot weights that basically clip onto the end of the line. The way to fish this tradtionally is from a boat and vertically jig but you can just cast and jig it from shore

what normally goes on hook instead of a fly?
