fished the canal between fremont and queen anne today as well as the past couple weeks after work or on my days off, consistently caught smallmouth and rock bass with a drop shot rig hooking some nightcrawlers, with a couple largemouth, bluegill, and perch as well. good times...I never see others fishing here, people must think the boat traffic kills the fishing but this is a great spot for a little urban fishing adventure.

Great catches! I fish there often, either early in the morning or late in the afternoons. From your description and rig via the picture, are you catching bluegill and perch on bass sized hooks? I'm actually interested in targeting those species but I feel like my hook size is causing missed hookups. The boat and rowboats sometimes really kill it for me, especially when school lets out, I think some rowing club is using the canal for training.

yes, especially using smaller plastic baits or live nightcrawler I've caught smaller fish with this same setup: bluegills, perch, rock bass...mostly rock bass in this location.
I mainly use owner mosquito hook #2 size, drop shot technique hooks are a lot smaller and shaped differently than the hooks you commonly would use for something like a texas rig.
