Never thought it would work

Went out after work this afternoon at the slip at Melkbos. There were a few others on the water as well and a few fish came out. I also landed a nice size kob on a 5" baby elf dropshot (McArthy, jerk minnow) that I reduced to 4", but with sunset things got quiet. Even the wind was still. A perfect sunset. I got board and thought what would happen if I added a bit of white mussel to the dropshot. Ek het ingegooi en dit net laat stil le. After about a minute something took it. It was a small kob which I released. the next cast same thing, but this one was bigger. And then I had no more mussel left to continue the experiment. Came off the water at 20:00.
 
I've seen guys make the ugliest baits that not even an elf would eat and catch big fish on them. Trying new and different things is a very good habit that not many guys posses i've noticed... Especially with regards to edible fishing

Try smearing blood or guts also on the dropshot before casting.I'm pretty sure it would make a difference

Oh n well done
