Super User 00 mod Posted March 18, 2016 Super User Posted March 18, 2016 Went out to wet a line this afternoon with a buddy. We caught 13 mostly small fish but 1 was a stud again! All fish except 1 were caught on an Irish senko. (Green pumpkin haha) She went 7.68 and after her lip piercing and photo op, swam away strong! Jeff 13 Quote

Super User everythingthatswims Posted March 18, 2016 Super User Posted March 18, 2016 Let me guess, the only one that didn't eat a senko is the one you're holding 2 Quote

She ate a senko also. I would like to say my streak with the jig had continued but it hasn't. No jig fish this trip. The one that didn't was a little dink on a square bill. Jeff Quote

By the time I got home last night I was tired and ready for bed. Just got home, unloaded, showered, ate the meal my wife left in the microwave for me and went to bed. Right now is the best time of the year for me and big fish. I don't really slow down much. I will be on the water as much as I can the next couple weeks until this special time of the year is over. Then, I will have a chance to sit back relax, reflect and drink a cold one. Jeff 2 Quote

Jeff No jig fish: Does this mean no bottom bouncing? I guess I'm asking, were you fishing shallower ares? Or...where in the water column were your strikes? Anywhere diff than your previous jig fish? 1 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted March 18, 2016 Author Super User Posted March 18, 2016 Yes bottom bouncing. Just moved shallow. With the water up almost 3 foot, stained and 62 degrees, I was focusing on shallow water close to deep water and then also the first breaks from shallow water. Almost all fish came in less than 12 fow this trip including the big one. Jeff 1 Quote

jignfule Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I don't get too excited about senkos until you start hauling in the big mamas. Nice Fish. 1 Quote

Nice Fish. I am not really a senko fisherman. As a matter of fact I had exactly 1 pack in my boat, when another guy on the lake said he had caught all his bass that day on a senko. So I tied it on and went to town. Jeff Quote

IndianaFinesse Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Great fish, I am probably the only bass fisherman on the planet who hasn't caught anything on the senko. Give me a jig, another worm, jerkbait, anything besides a senko and I can do well on them, I just haven't figured the senko out yet. 1 Quote
