drop shotting works best for smallies. Actually works pretty well for largies too.

If you're bed fishing the smallies, drop your presentation (tube, lizard, spider grub) on the bed and back away a little, wait for mama to come back, she'll move it guaranteed. There's no mating on a dirty bed, especially something that could be a predator.

If they don't want a jig, maybe it's because it sinks too fast. Try a tube lure with 1/16th oz weight, or a smaller jig. I NEED to try dropshotting more myself. I just got done changing some things around in the boat planning on doing things differently tomorrow/this weekend.

Texas rig or peg a small weight about 6" above a spider grub or lizard if you see the fish sitting on beds. I believe that drop shotting as it was explained to me is more for suspended or cruising fish, not fish sitting on beds.
