Senko lover

I thought this would be a good thread. Post up some convos you've had with people who just don't get it. This one was with my Mom. "But I thought I told you not to get any more fishing baits" "These ones are different." "They look the same to me" "They all look the same to you." "I want you to be saving money for college. You already have a bag full of baits." "I am saving for college, Mom. I put away 70% of what I get. That's way better than what most people do." "But that __ percent could come in handy." "It does come in handy, Mom. I buy fishing baits with it!" "I give up..........." And I don't even buy that many baits.....I probably spend around 50 bucks a year on baits. This one is one I get all the time. [Random passerbyer]: "Caught anything?" [Me]: "Yep, caught ___ bass today." "What'cha catch em on?" **Show them the bait** "Holy cow! That's way too big to catch a fish on. Are you pulling my leg?"

Be polite, use "maam" and "sir" and let them set boundaries. That works for me.

Went out today and fished for spawers. Caught 6 on a senko real early, all around 2 1/4 with the biggest being 2 3/4 of a lb. Didn't hook into any big females but me and my older fishing buddy at that pond fished for some 4-5 pounders on beds. No luck . Anyway a beautiful day and I had a great time.

Bank fisherman cast as far as they can out toward the open. Boat fisherman cast as far as they can toward the bank.

If I get sore from fishing; I go out again. My body will get used to it .

Bucket A: Ish Monroe This was easy. This guy is killer in California. He knows how to catch em down there and his strenths are punching and frogging. I think he'll whack them. If I change my mind, it'll be for Skeet. Bucket B: Brent Ehrler Again, this is an easy choice. Cali native, fishes there a lot. If I change my mind, it'll be for Chris Lane Bucket C: Alton Jones For some reason, I really struggled on this one. Everybody seems to be picking Hite and Evers, just didn't seem like I wanted to get either of those. This was a definite dark horse and he may be gone tomorrow. If I change my mind, I'll go with the flow and pick Hite Bucket D: Bobby Lane I think he'll do well. He has some strong sibling redemption motives for catching up with Chris . If I change my mind, it'll be for Paul Elias. Just another dark horse I think will do well. Bucket E: Jared Litner No-brainer again. He's a native and loves do the Cali stuff, froggin' and all that. If I change my mind, it'll be for Brandon Palaniuk. He's bound to do well before too long. Your choices?

This one's heading in the wrong direction............

Guess?

Did that today around some logs. Saw a 7 1/2 pound bass come up behind it. Caught her about 2 weeks ago, but this time; no luck.

Yeah it'll surprise me if this one dies.

You can use EWG if you're careful casting. Fling it too hard and there goes your senko.

The water in that pond where I was fishing is no deeper than 3, maybe four feet where I was. A little farther out it may get to 5. I only have access (it's a private cemetery pond and I can't disrupt funerals) to the shallow area.

Based on skinniness I would give her 6 3/4, MAYBE 7. Nice fish, BTW .

This is kind of a depressing thread.

separate vids, BTW

WATCH GLENN'S VID!!!!!!! They'll teach you everything you need to know for starters.

Right now!

The last time he said this, I actually thought about it and started to do it. It works! I put away a lot of stuff I don't use.

Oh well. Better luck next time. At least you caught some fish .

4-inch finesse worm or an inline spinner. Those two seem to produce when nothing else will, even if it's just some bream on the inline.

What kind of poles are those? Seems like Shakespeare Sturdy Stik to me. (that's not silk, but stik). I mean, that's what it says on the rods.

They probably lost a double-digit fish right at the boat. Forgive them. You'd be upset too.

I run into them all the time. HATE 'EM. Mostly Copperheads and Cottonmouths with an occasional Black Racer and Worm snake. I kill the poisonous ones on sight. When you're creek fishing and wading in the water with a cottonmouth swimming toward you, you develop a healthy fear of snakes.

In a word: nope.
