Old dog, new trick
Took the Ranger out this morning up to Webster Lake for some
largemouth fishing. Did ok, but nothing spectacular, until... a guy in another Ranger came over and we got to chatting about my boat (he had never seen one) and I noticed that he had a couple of rods rigged wacky worm style with Senkos. Hmmm - I've never tried that particular rigging method with a plastic worm, I thought. What the hell - give it a go. I swear this is true - 14 fish later, everything from 1 to 6 pound large and smallmouth bass in the space of an hour and a half. I couldn't miss. I even caught fish on those stupid looking bubblegum colored Senkos which is what I caught the 6 lb largemouth on. Great morning on the water - had a blast, used a new rigging method - can't beat it. |

I can't believe it. Pink's about the only color I never tried. I don't even own any in that color. |

I wonder if pink is what it takes to wake up the five zillion smallmouth that were hanging out on the bottom, in 25 feet of water in Lake Ontario last week, and refused to budge. Not for worms, crayfish, live minnows or 15 different lures. |

Sounds like a lot of fun..... I do miss fishing need to get back out on the
lakes/bays again. Do you catch and release or keep what you catch ? Ed "Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... Took the Ranger out this morning up to Webster Lake for some largemouth fishing.

We use Senkos here, a lot. Either wacky, or Carolina or Texas rigged. Another good one is to drop shot them. I've not had much luck with bubblegum colored worms in these parts. I've had my best luck on the brighter green Senkos. Bass Pro shops sells a variation of Senkos called Kinami (or similar). Did you notice how they feel very different when fishing with them than the standard plastic worms? Another favorite here are plastic lizards. |
