Anybody else not catching anything?

BTW, first time ever fishing a senko. . . 

 

I think I'm hooked

Went out casting, since I can’t call it fishing anymore. Hit three ponds between last night and this morning. Had one blowup on popmax and my cousin got a pickeral on a chatterbait we got those right away not another bite. I e probably said this before I think they’ve just moved to we’re I can’t get them from shore. 4 hours in the 60 degree rain was fun today.

If you think they've gone deep you should tie on a lipless crank and just launch it out there. Those things cast miles.

I fished for about 30 minutes on Saturday and 45 minutes on Sunday and didn't get one bite. However, I did see a gator snag something and do a death roll, so that was pretty neat.

 

I'll admit that it has been frustrating out there lately. Granted, I only get out there for an hour or so each time, but I have no idea where the bass went. I've fished fast, slow, big baits, small baits, top, middle, and bottom and - nothing. It's times like this when I realize bank fishing is a huge disadvantage because of not being able to cover the entire waterway and the lack of electronics to at least see if something is down there.

 

Maybe I should break out the iBobber and see if that helps. The iBobber is decent, but it's a magnet for gators. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a lagoon where they are too lethargic to try and eat it.

Yes it’s been slow since moving out of the 70’s and 80’s. Temps here in Penna. are to radical of a change. Was out past Friday ahead of incoming storm on the river. Truly was fishing the calm before the storm. I did have my expectations set way way high. Did the Smallie & Muskie thing, just bought myself a net to handle these muskies and thought for sure I was gonna have one on. Managed two smallies on a slider set up. And a few white perch on the slider and small storm swimbaits. 

 

Air temp. was 38 deg. at start, 47 deg. when I finished up. Water temps. stayed pretty even at 48-49 deg. We just had severe weather Friday night into Saturday. Raining today into tomorrow. Again on Friday. Might be light. Sunday will be on the lake. I hope to get out again after that. If it’s like the Dead Sea maybe not. 

 

Weather and water conditions here in Penna. have been a fight for me.

Pennsylvania sounds like a terrible place to fish! You and @Gundog need to dig a tunnel and escape

I would if I could get past the permafrost and not get eaten by the polar bears.

Yeah I hear that. I've seen Mother Nature mess up my home fishing grounds on the river over the last few seasons. I'm gonna remain optimistic that Mother Nature will make things rebound one day. I've switched over to a lake as a new home waters, have really had a good time with it and the largemouths there. The lake has held up real well to some of the storms we've had. I can't set and fret over the weather we have been dealt. Have just tried to make the best of it.

Lakes are definitely a great option during volatile times like drought and flood
