Drop shot a 4 inch golden shiner, leach or night crawler during the summer on a clear deep lake. Use a heavy weight 12 to 16 inches below your bait and bounce the weight off the bottom fishing vertically straight up and down. Dont anchor, but do keep your boat as stationary as possible slowly moving around until you key in on a school of active fish.
You have the best chance at catching any species of fish in the lake using this method and generally you will get some real good ones. Even on bright sunny days.
Fish the shoreline at the butt crack of dawn or just after the sun sets, but fish deep the rest of the day.
