Due to the poor state of our economy, I have had to learn to live on less.

Same here.

Relating to fishing - I now save all of my plastic baits that have been torn so I can repair them later. That is, of course, when I have the money to buy soft bait glue or a soldering iron from Walmart. A strict budget puts a huge damper on those impulse buys. The money is best spent elsewhere for now.

However, I was able to dig a small hole in our backyard and placed a small handmade plaque in honor of my bait monkey who has recently passed away due to starvation.

1. I learned that I need to get out on the water to get to the real fish. At least on the water I fish.

2. White crappie jigs will pull in both white and regular bass.

3. Fishing is the greatest skill given by God.

Allot of people use the drop shot diffrent then me. I cast mine the same as you were fishing a crankbait. Check out Kevins how to video on rigging it. Seasonly this bait set up has not limits.

For the past several years, the Drop Shot has been my #1 go to presentation. It's just that versatile. I usually pitch it out rather then dropping it directly below the boat. I work it along a weed lines or to isolated cover, but I rather work a C-rig to cover water.

I usually rig both at the same time. If you cast a dropshot. The rig itself is alittle more compact. It gives you almost the same presentation. Being alttle more compact. You now can cast into tight cover. That you would'nt with a C-rig. As you search water try both this way.
