I went out fishing yesterday afternoon/night when the temps were reasonable here in AZ and was throwing chatter baits, swim jigs, TRigs and a good old drop shot..nothing was working. Finally decided to try a Bubba shot using a number 2 offset(straight not EWG ) hook and a 6 inch Danny Joe's original floating worm (Red Shad) with  a 1/4 Oz weight and to my surprise.. that's what they wanted.  had a great dusk and early night "B" shotting.  Decided to call it quits a 9 pm since there was no moon and I was out on my TwinTroller and my buddy was on his kickboat and it was a good 45 minutes back to the ramp.

It was great to get out and not sweat my butt off for once this summer..ok a little sweat but only till the sun went down.

 

I am now a believer in the Bubba shot as another way to entice a bite.

I need to learn this. 
A friend told me to rig this up the night before a tournament a few weeks ago. I got on youtube and saw the bubba style. I rigged it the best I could with what I had. 12lb green big game mono, 1/0 owner hook, 6” straight worm and a basic 1/2oz bell sinker. 
Lake is weedy and stained water. 
Very first cast with it I thought I hooked a bunch of weeds until the weeds moved sideways. Total accidental catch of a 15” LM. 
I’ve been using it ever since then and nothing, nada, zilch. 

Stick with it. We're from the same area, and I promise you that it is very effective on lakes around here.

Actually I fished a lake 2 days ago that the bubba rig probably would have been good for.  It’s a smaller lake but, I thought it was a hard bottom.  However, kept trying to throw a Carolina rig after the pads that ring it were a no go. I kept dragging up clay and Black Sea weed/Algea with the Carolina rig

Which league? I looked into a few local tourneys in my area and none of them allowed canoes due to their definition of a kayak is that it had to be a one piece plastic craft. 
 

Ive been fishing this rig quite a bit this year and even got a new pb about a month ago using a strike king baby bass caffeine shad on it.

I have a small single person canoe that's KBF legal. 

Yup, I have a video on that too.
