After getting hooked on it last summer for bass, I’m intrigued by dropshotting. I find myself always looking at lures and situations to see if I can apply dropshotting. Has anybody tried it much for crappie? I’m seeing some really nice lures that look to be best presented that way.

I’ve not tried it for crappies and don’t know that I’ve fished many situations where it would be better than a 1/32 jig and plastic. Maybe the only situation is when they get on top of the short grass in deeper water. But they don’t do that at SML.
There is an uncut angling episode where he drop shots crappie over deep cover..

I’m thinking about around some docks before spawn when you don’t want to get right over them, but want to hold in the zone longer.

Well I’m not sure if this applies but I do a fair amount of spider rigging or tight lining for crappie before spawn when crappie are suspended. You are basically using a drop shot rig off the front of the boat at various depths and slow trolling.

This can be a very productive method of fishing, works great for perch too😁

So when you are spider rigging you are not really working brush but open water?

Correct, we generally fish creek channels and flats near spawning areas
