I've been experimenting with some different techniques that I've learned since I got into bass fishing while targeting speckled trout down here in South Louisiana. I've found that the drop shot is very successful when fishing over oyster beds. I'm planning on picking up some terminal tackle tomorrow before I go out this weekend, and I was hoping to get some opinions from you guys about the setup.
First off, what weight shape would work best on these oyster beds? I was using a cheap 1/4oz round style which seemed to work well, but I thought maybe a year drop style with a flat bottom might be better.
Another question... I had a limited selection of hooks to choose from, and wound up using a 1/0 Mustad Demon offset circle hook. I'm drop shotting a 3" paddle tail swimbait. What size/type of hook would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance for the help
