Drifting
West Basin, I'll give drifting a try. Those North winds tend to blow me in to close on the NW corner of Kelley's. We drift the NE corner of Kelley's for Sheephead when nothing else will bite or when we have a greenhorn and want to give them a thrill. They don't know the different and don't care. I've snorkeled in the bay on the north side of Kelley's as well and have seen plenty of SM in the boulders just off the beach in 10 feet of water.
Thanks for the info.

If you've never used a drop shot rig, I suggest that you give it a try.
Use a flourocarbon leader attached to fireline or some type of non stretch braid.
Try different types of rubber worms and things of that sort. Different colors and also different depths of water. Different weights and different lengths from the sinker to the hook.
I drifted using these techniques last year because I didn't have a bow mounted trolling motor. I have one this year and I think that it's going to add an entire new piece to the pie.
I can't wait for Saturday!
