Another Slow but Productive day

I went out guns blazing today. Last weekend I had been on a jerk bait bite.
Today I figured to slay them on a Jerk bait by taking out the little boat
and getting into some backwaters that I figured would be perfect for it. No
such luck. I picked up a couple rats popping a floating jerk bait, but
nothing, not even a bump, on the suspending jerkbait that had served my so
well last weekend.

I broke out one of the new double blade SWL spinnerbaits Joe sent my with my
last order and tried flipping it, buting it, and slow rolling it down a bank
that has consistantly produced fish for me in the past.

Finally I I found something that would work for me. I started flipping a
senko. First worm rigged, and then wacky rigged. I tied into 4 good fish,
but was only able to put two of them int he boat. Fortunately the bigger
one was a nice solid 4.16 pounder that barely squeaked out big fish for the
day. Paid for my gas and entry fee atleast. It was a good day.

The senkos produce in spots and conditions that I ordinarily would have
figured a spinner bait to be the lure of choice. Weird.

Still a good day on the water.

Bottom Posting here. Went out yesterday with snow flurries and cold winds.
Haven't seen a hint of a bass in weeks. Switched to #10 hooks and wax worms
and The Big Girl and I caught about 4 doz bluegills nestled amidst the weed
edge. At least we caught something.

Nice job Bob!

Nice job Bob!


Thanks Warren. I owe it in part to some advice from you. I would have
given up on Senkos if not for some of your tips.

It looks like the w.w.Hook I've been using for wacky rigging has been
discontinued. I'll have to buy some cale hooks and wrap my own when those I
have run out. I might see if I can find a slightly heavier wire hook and
use a size or two up in mono for the weedguards when I do.

LOL, Yeah I know about that one. I missed a lot of fish on wire weedguard
hooks before you pointed out the w.w.Hook to me.
