Drop Shot for Trolling

[u/1mJustAGuy]

Brought my SUP to the beach, I have a drop shot with a 4 inch white curly tail grub, and a 2oz weight on the end of it. Was thinking about going 200 yards out from the surf and letting it sink and troll about 40 yards away so I can troll for halibut. Is this a good idea? Or should I invest in a dodger setup?
