Senkos....

Ok... I thought I was a decent senko fisherman, but yesterday I got
schooled seriously.

Lannes Brock invited me to fish Yuma Bassmasters with him. His regular
partner was busy with something else. Anyway. Lannes pretty much fished a
t-rigged senko all day long with a brief respite while he fished a fluke.

We ran through an area and the wind was whipping down along with us for
hours. He was feeling fish constantly and putting a fish in the boat
regularly while I stood there and watched. I'm sure I was getting bites,
but I was oblivious to it. Basically Lannes was dead sticking a senkos and
then very slowly dragging it. Every once in a while he would say, "I'm
getting a bite." Then he would let the fish swim around a bit and set the
hook.

When I finally focused I caught a coupel also. Wow. I'm a line wather
mostly, but if you had seen me yesterday you would have thought I totally
forgot how to fish by feel. I used to be pretty good at fishing by feel.
In fact back when I bait fished I would read a book and fish totally by feel
with the line lace between my fingers, and I always caught more fish that
way than anybody else bait fishing. Maybe I should take a couple days
sitting ont he bank to get my touch back.
