This is my first post here so i will keep it brief. Nice to be here.
I was on a pretty descent Senko bite last month at Cachuma. The wind came up on the outside main lake which caused a current in a cove and that made it difficult for me to fish the Senko on specific targets.
I just so happened to have a jig head on a different rod that i had not used and didnt really think i would resort to so i being the cheap/thrifty guy that i am i pinned on the senko whaky that had already been used not wanting to waste it on a 1/4oz jig head and threw it out.
First cast on a tree in 5' of water. Whammo! http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/otherbiged/Cachuma002.jpg
It worked. I think it can be used well under those windy or current conditions. I will have to see as the Senko for me is best used during the spring. I feel that the rate of fall triggers the bite and that particular day it worked due to the current and wind coming around the corner off the outside point.
I will continue to try it now that i have had a little success with it.
I too read a couple of articles in Bass West magazine which was why i decided to try it. It was cool to see a little plan come together all in about a minute as i saw the tree in the near distance as we drifted along.
