There are several ways to fish a drop shot. First vertical. Off the side of the boat straight down, and cast just like a regular worm. By casting it you can cover alot of water while you work it all the way back to the boat. Shaking it and then just letting it sit there but I fish it with just a smidge of slack line. The bites are almost imperceptible, sometimes the line just move to the side or not at all. You will experience the "anticipation" bite too. You know the "just a feeling I got a bite" situation. I love the dropshot, and you will too.

instead of putting on a weight, put a jig on there instead. two lures are better than one.

It will be interesting to see which lure works better.

I can tell ya already, the jig will catch bigger fish, the dropshot will catch more fish.
