![[OC] I targeted, caught, and dispatched a round goby in Lake Michigan](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cb5222b3-cf0d-4ff7-bbe0-b5c33f9d2f38.jpeg){kind=link}
These fish are highly aggressive, invasive and eat other native fish eggs. Encouraged to kill after catching. I dropped my line in a spot and got a bite within 10 seconds. Simple drop shot right, size 8 hook. Chunk of Bar-S Classic Franks as bait, carefully covered hook tip to ensure it didn’t get caught on reeds. Happy to answer any questions.
I think it depends on the rig you’re using. If you’re trying drop shot these will hit the bait almost instantly if any are near.
I usually just throw a worm on one of these and go for whatever panfish are hugging structure.
