#1410, "New PR"
|
I was able to get an 11.90 during a tournamnet at Isabella last weekend. It beat by previous best fish of 11.42 and 10.80, which came from the same spot. It ate a watermelon Senko in 3' of water. I'm waiting for pictures. Bill

Can't wait to see those pics...
It's amazing how many fish are caught with senkos and I have yet to catch a fish with one. I've had a two bites and I've gone through about four bags of senkos over a period of time...
Everyone says they're easy to use... I must be senko impaired or something...
I've caught fish on jigs, detecting some pretty subtle bites... but something tells me I'm not detecting senkos bites or something.

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)!

I'm not Scott, but I assume you're talking to me... and I'm a rookie bass fisherman. But thanks just the same for the tips. I've read several tips on here over the past few months and I have yet to stick a fish on a senko. I'll keep trying and wacky rigging will be my next method.
