Well, Carlos and I had the great fun of doodling for bass on Sunday and the frostbite tourney.  What is doodling?  Back in the early days of Monster bass fishing in So Cal, Don Ivino fished deep ( 40ft + ) ... Underwater humps by taking a brass weight, glass bead, and plastic bait, dropping straight over the side of the boat.  Let the bait settle for a bit, then pick the bait off the bottom a couple of inches and then shake it like there is no tommorow for 3 to 5 seconds.  Then drop the bait back on the bottom for 3 to 5 secounds.  Repeat until you get hammered. 
  What made me think of this technique at the frostbite.  I had hung my jig on a rock and was shaking the crap out of the thing trying to get it off the rock.  Finally got the boat over the top of the jig and shook it off and as soon as it came off the rock. SLAM......  The interesting thing on Sunday was that there were two boats 50 yrds from us drop shotting and on Sunday we never seen them catch a fish.  I know there wasn't some  kind of magic barrier between us and them where there were no fish for them and fish for us.  I switched to a drop shot for a while just to check things out, 1/2 hr of effort no fish.  Switch back to jig, shaking, Bang, fish on.

Hey HEY now!  This is a family club!

I don't what to hear anything about Mark "Jerking the tube", ya hear?!

My dad and I also got hit numerous times when jerking our grubs off rocks. I caught my best smallie ever on that lake trying to break free a drop shot. We made the mistake of going south on sunday, and got completely soaked.
