Never knew I wanted to drop shot a gilly till this video! I grew up fishing there! I caught my first fish when I was 5 at lazy M with my dad . Great spot . Looks like you had a good time Greg , look forward to your next video ! Come to disco and hit the docks . Water is clearing up and lots of 3-4 pounders up shallow. Tight lines!

Hey Greg I was wondering if you have ever tried aa swim jig on the delta before? All these places I see you go there looks super swim jiggy. Them heads can't stand a swim jig when they spawning. A wacky rig and a swim jig are a staple giving the right time of year for me personally. Just was curious of you have ever tried it. Also a killer when you find a shad spawn as well.
