Double Drop Shot Fishing From the Bank - Exotic Long Ear Sunfish!
Спорт
Today I am out fishing from the bank with a double drop shot rig and I am catching some exotic looking long ear sunfish! I love the colors on these beautiful fish. The variations on each fish are interesting with all of the greens, blues, oranges, and reds. I am using two Gulp minnows at a time with the double drop rig. This increases my chances of catching fish because I can present two baits at once. I hope your lake or river has Long Ear Sunfish, they are one exotic looking freshwater fish!

Some of those long-eared sunfish make me want a 300 gallon aquarium. Admiring them is definitely something I enjoy about catching them!
Great colors on those long ears!!

I'm glad you explained a Long Ear Sunfish is NOT another name for a Pumpkin Seed. I would've sworn it was.
Those were some of the prettiest gillies I've seen. They don't get that kind of coloring here in Colorado. Awesome!

vesco32 glad to hear it man! Well that depends where in the state you are and if you have a boat. If you don’t have a boat or kayak I don’t know if the lakes will be worth it for you. There are some good ditches throughout the state and some rivers down south that are good for bass
Hi. I live in the UK and really enjoy your channel. It's good to see someone who just likes to fish without all the hoopla I see on some other channels. Fishing is mostly very different over here compared to the USA but you have pretty fish. I may try some of your drop shot tactics though just to see what happens! Keep it realistic and keep them coming. Tight lines.

I usually go towards anything with heavy scent or live bait when I can’t find fish around. Even at the honey hole fishing was scarce. We’ve been having days at 93 °F but some other days it’ll be 71 °F and four days ago when I woke up, it was 51 °F outside. Which is not normal for my part of Arizona.
Keeping it realistic

How do you get your hooks to face upwards with the Palmer knot every time? I have trouble. Fear the Beard and Keep it; Realistic
@RealisticFishing

When the hook is upside down, run the tag end back through the hook eye from the front
What size hooks were you using? Size 8 Aberdeen?
Just curious... is there any reason you prefer the drop shot over the hook and bobber rig? I'm just wondering cuz I usually go with a weighted bobber and wondering if I'd have better luck going drop shot
@RealisticFishing

I use plenty of bobber rigs as well. Its hard to fish 2 jigs under a float though... They get really tangled up.
