Doug Senkos are great, but I would go with tubes with a 3/16- 3/8 oz.
tube jig inserted, dragged on the bottom, green pumpkin w/ copper or
watermelon w/ gold flake.


I like to use tubes too, but the past three outings hasn't produced a single
fish on a tube when Senko-type lures have done the trick. I don't
understand it, as I land smallies, they're barfing up orange chunks of
crayfish, but yet when I put a tube or craw down there that almost matches
the color identically, I never get a bite. Throw a Texas-Rigged Senko,
still nothing. Take the same lure off, rig it wacky and I get bit!

I guess you just have to be a little willing to experiment.
