Need More Bites

[soccerswaggg16]

Hey guys i fish shallow vegitation filled lakes from the banks , i use light spinning rods and use mostly plastics , but usually when i go out i get one bite a day if that at all, i'm looking for a plastic that will get me consistent bites , size of fish doesn't matter to me at all , just lookin for more action , any suggestions for baits/ techniques/ rigs ? thanks

smaller plastics like a grub on a small jig head. nightcrawlers. small inline spinners.

What have you tried thus far?

I usually fish with 4" zoom lizards, sometimes curl tail worms, weightless and texas rigged , i fish for like 3 hours and maybe get one bite all day ,my casts are accurate , and i know that there's fish in the lake , i just can't seem to trigger more than one a day haha any advice , not looking for anything too small but just consistency in average fish

just did man , but i don't see how a senko would attract bass lol theres no attraction to it other than when its on the fall it doesn't rlly look like anything ahaha

should i do a straight retrieve with the jighead ?

if you don't like the senkos..you should definitely stick with some of the other lures that road warrior mentioned

oh no i'll try the senkos i jus don't have much experience with them lol do they draw like a lota strikes ?

If you are fishing spinning gear, try a drop shot rig. I fish city park lakes a lot and they get tons of pressure, I am able to get a couple bites sporadically with a drop shot. I also use Roboworms and more recently the Big Bite Baits Shaking Squirrel worms.

Colors: Robos- Aarons Magic, Bold Bluegill, Oxblood Light Red Flake

BBB Shaking Squirrel- Oxblood Red Flake, Earthworm

Drop shot rigs are always good for a tough bite.

OP, just do what roadwarrior suggested, You might want to use 4" senkos instead of 5" ones. Trust us, it'd work. Even a knockoff would probably work.

Well, let's be gentle...

Spend some time reading "Fishing Articles" and "Tackle".

"Do Senkos get a lot of strikes" hmmm, let me see.....

YES

Yeah, pretty much. I fish from the banks as well, at local park lakes. I have found that just making a long cast around a 45 degree angle to the shore works the best. After the cast, I reel up the slack and start dragging and bouncing the worm with the rod tip. You want to maintain the feel of the bottom with the drop shot weight, I usually use a 3/16-1/4oz. cylinder or teardrop weight. Every know and then I will just let the worm just sit there and jiggle it a little and sit again before I continue dragging it back.

Hope this explains how I fish it! Let us know how you do!

Depends on water clarity and what the bass are feeding on, but you really can't go wrong with green pumpkin.

It's one of the most universal baits there is. You can fish it wacky, texas, carolina, weightless texas, weightless like a fluke/jerkbait, splitshot, drop shot, you name it. Check out the thread roadwarrior mentioned.

Here's what I always start with, though. Rig it weightless and let it sink to the bottom. Mix up your retrieve with popping it up off the bottom, then reel in slack, then repeat. Follow up with slowly lifting your rod tip then reeling in slack as you lower it. It takes concentration because you will VERY often get a strike as it is fluttering back to the bottom on slack line.

Oh, and make sure that when you make your cast you let it make it's initial decent on slack line so it falls straight down. WATCH YOUR LINE!

If this rigging method doesn't work, wacky will. Same basic premise applies as the other two as far as watching on the fall, but the difference is that you are going to hop it off the bottom then let it flutter down. This method is less about moving the bait back to you as it is about how it flutters down. Bass (and bluegill apparently, as I recently learned) just can't get enough of a wacky rigged senko.

There is a thread that contains about a hundred other threads that are all things senko and it is found in the tackle section (on my phone otherwise I would link it for you).

There really isn't a "wrong way" to fish a senko as long as you rig it right. Find out what the fish want and slay 'em.
