Lightninrod Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Went to my boss's two ponds today. Partly cloudy, low 30s last night, sunny, wind--5-10 mph, and clear water. Started out at the smaller pond, fishing from the bank. Caught a few dinks and then a 6 lber and a 1 lber. There was another Bass trying to ****** the SSenko away as I brought her to the bank. Moved on to the bigger pond and caught a 3 lber before putting in the boat. Caught several dinks and missed several bites. Ended up with a 2 lber. 6 lber--24" Gut shot Close up Skinny 3 lber 3 lber again 2 lber 1 lber Dan Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Nice, nice fish Dan, I love the "peek-a-boo" shot! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 5, 2006 Super User Posted November 5, 2006 Great fish, but you almost got cheated. That bass is long enough to be 8+ lbs! Quote
justtrying Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Lightninrod (dan), i've gotten to the place that i view some of the posts here, but, hardly ever log in. when i saw your post, i really wanted to log in & thank you. you really are an encouragement to all of us, especially the "over the hill gang." (i'm 61) i like the fact that you keep at it, love what you're doing, & let that enthuasim come through. ....and, the fact that you post 'em, just as they are,,,,if it's a 5 lber, or a 1 lber. i got to go fishing a few hours last week & caught a few (deep cranking & shakey head) & while i was fishing, i caught a good one & thought to myself, "man, i wish lightininrod could take a picture of this one." ----(that's a good sign that i'm reading posts on this forum too much! Wheeeeeeeee) anyway, thanks for keeping us up to date on what you're doing, for helping us enjoy the pictures of someone "enjoying what they're doing." and, hey, if you ever get a "notion to travel" ..just come on over to south carolina & I've got some ponds, rivers & lakes that hold some "Big 'ol Good 'uns" that would look good beside some of that fine looking equipment you've got (even if it is daiwa! LOL) great pics ronnie Quote
Lightninrod Posted November 7, 2006 Author Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks again y'all. Ronnie: I am humbled at your observations. I do try to keep on learning as I fumble around in my little boat. Us ol' fellers got to stick togeather or these young whippersnappers will 'catch-and-release' us ;D. And thank you for the invite to South Carolina but I rarely fish out of a 100 mile area here in middle GA. Dan Quote
sirmo Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Senco's are getting for me too down here in FL. LR....you ever give a final verdict on what you thought of those swim'n senco's? Just wondering. Great work.....Keep it up sir! Quote
pickerelpiney Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 senkos, ahh the best invention ever. they and all salt impregnated plastics account for 85% of my bass. NIce fish. Quote
Lightninrod Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 Senco's are getting for me too down here in FL. LR....you ever give a final verdict on what you thought of those swim'n senco's? Just wondering. Great work.....Keep it up sir! Sirmo: I'm still not convinced they're any better than the originals :-? I do think they're made of a slightly different formula of soft-plastic as I find them a lttle hardier than the originals but they're still just 5"s in length and not a real 'swimbait' IMO. They cost a little more than the originals and just aren't that much different or more effective as far as I can tell. Now if I catch a new PB on one, my mind 'may' change . Dan Quote
Guest avid Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 So your not "swimming" them? Your fishing them like a regular senko? I have yet to find a good article on how to rig and fish these new baits. Anyone see anything about techniques for the swiming senko? Quote

Lightninrod Posted November 9, 2006 Author Posted November 9, 2006 :ois your boss hiring right now???! : Yes, as a matter-of-fact, he is 8-)! Avid: As you determined, I havn't been swimming it per-se. T-rigged, I just hop, pause it back to the boat or the bank in the case of that 6 and that 3 lber. Dan Quote
Guest avid Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Here you go Avid http://www.insideline.net/articles/swim_senko.html Much thanks, just what I was looking for Quote

Lightninrod Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 No, I've never held or used an Evergreen rod. I like the last half of their name though . Dan Quote
