Dropshotting on the False bay coast?

[Sage]

Hi guys........I am goin fishing soon at blakes beach or macassar and just wanna know what the dropshotting is like? If it is worth it  I would like to know what is the best tackle to use(Berkley Gulp) and what is the best size to use?

If you followed ESA you would have seen lots of klipvisse caught on drop shot and not much else, personally I think that dropshotting is a waste of time::craz. Pulling up a chair,who's bringing the popcorn

I do bra....I just cant remember that episiode.

The only people that is winning are the tackle shops,look at the lure prices you pay to catch undersized fish.

I caught some nice stump on the dropshot a few weeks ago in Saldanha harbor, there were heaps of local guys fishing with handlines from the wall and i put them to shame with the cammo worms!
Have caught 1 Kob in melkbos on the Dropshot, but only started late in the season, going to give it more effort next season!

i agree with duckbill and bunks!

It's another form of fishing and has it's place somewhere, however the reasons why it is so heavily promoted has been EXPOSED in this thread

Dropshot does catch big fish. Personally I believe that a cheap bucktail jig is just as effective though! The False bay coast has not produced for me yet as the kelp is a bastard. Having said that, I have been broken off twice by big fish - probably Steenbras - at Koellbaai (?spelling) on camoworm.

''only catch undersize fish'' bunks take a look at my best catches.... tell me what it was on please!

@t-time: But surely not in False bay? I think that is what the guys are referring to.

ok u got me there Tsa, false bay is a little slow with dropshot

LoL - not that I have tried myself but that seems to be the official verdict, but who knows...
