2011 OVERVIEW
2011 was a fantastic year for my career and at the same time I feel that I continued to expand my skills as an angler. The FLW Tour Level Event on Lake Chickamauga stands out as an example how adapting skills with knowledge leads to winning championships. I was very pleased to finish in the money in 12 of the 14 tournaments I fished during 2011. Each of these finishes provided numerous opportunities for interviews and personal appearances to discuss how my sponsors directly added to my success. My newest sponsor is High Performance Range (HPR) Ammunition and although HPR is not directly related to the fishing industry, we were able to successfully market their products to outdoor enthusiasts. I used several new products in 2011including some made by your company. I am looking forward during 2012 and future years to developing a partnership that will produce positive results for your company as I grow my fishing career.
Each quarter during 2012 I’ll be sending a copy of the “Pirch Quarterly Newsletter” which will keep you updated on my accomplishments, upcoming tournaments and outdoors show I will attending and presenting.

Drop-shotting in the dead of winter
18.Jan.2012 by Clifford Pirch Winter is one of my favorite times to drop-shot because the fish tend to stack up in certain places and stay there. Of course, it’s very critical that you pinpoint the locations where fish are holding. When I get to a deep, clear lake, the first places I look are rocky points, bluffs or rocky shorelines because rocks hold a little extra heat even when the water’s cold, and forage such as crawfish also are likely to be in them.
I idle along until my Lowrance shows bass holding at the bottom and drop down a Roboworm – ¬ usually either oxblood-light, which is kind of a purplish brown, or Aaron’s Magic, which is basically watermelon with some blue and brown in it. I fish with a whippy 6-foot, 9-inch rod that’s really sensitive, and 6-pound-test fluorocarbon. Depending on how deep the water is, I’ll use a 3/16- or ¼-ounce sinker and keep it on the bottom. More often than not, the bass just aren’t going to run up and grab the Roboworm and then take off. They’re cold and they’re not going to move much. You’ve got to get it in their strike zone and keep it there. A lot of times the only strike you’ll feel is pressure on the line as you’re slightly jiggling the worm.
Drop-shotting in place is a pretty subtle approach, and you’ve got to have patience, but it’s definitely a good way to catch sluggish fish in clear water. |
