Scott --

Try wacky-rigging 'em -- toss it to the shore near some cover, dead-stick it & just wait for that line to jump! I've caught so many that way, I can't believe a seasoned bass fisherman like yourself hasn't caught a single fish on one.

Of course, I was doing alot better on Senko's *earlier* in the season myself, too. If not for reports like John Lake's, on his 9.04 'Big Fish' catch at the Bass-n-Tubes Delta tourney this past weekend, I might say that the Senko bite might be a little tougher right now, but how can I make an argument like that, with guys going around getting SLAMMED on 'em as we speak?

Maybe it's the conditions you're fishing 'em under. I'd say the Senko would work better at the Delta than, say, Coyote or Calero right now -- any place with tules or any kind of shoreline cover. I threw one at Calero for a couple of hours last Monday without a strike. It wasn't til I switched to a crankbait that I finally started getting some action.


In any case, try that wacky-rig, before you consider giving up on 'em entirely (costly as they may be to replace)!
