I use the drop shot to get a chunk of bait or even a live minnow if I
have one...down to the bottom, but not actually on the bottom...maybe a
foot or less off the bottom. It's a killer for flounder.

I don't do a lot of fluke fishing. I have a few fluke rigs, but very
seldom use them.

Just something about fluke fishing annoys me for some reason. :)
