I fish a 500 acres lake in CT and every time we get a heavy rain the fishing slows down for a couple days. Why is that? Thanks

thanks, very informative. I have been doing well with your bait suggestions. I miss a lot fish though and I wondering if its the braided line after reading the braided line thread. I bought the yoruri line and will try it. again thanks

thanks for the great post. As a novice (I have only been at it 20 years) I appreciate the lesson. I have a couple questions though. Why that particular line selection? is it feel, durability? I have always read that you lift up the rod tip to move the worm through the water, you suggest a horizontal sweeping motion. Does this motion allow the worm to swim differently? Again thanks for the advise Tony

As for the 1/0 being too small. I went to Cabela's and was helped by a very nice older man who picked them out for me after I showed him the senkos. I looked at them and asked" Seem kinda small" and he replied "Nope thats what I fish all the time. So live and learn I will replace with 3/0 . The good news is it got me off my butt to join this forum rather then just lurking. You guys are the greatest!!!!

thanks for the replies. I did try to set the hook on the first tap, I get nothing. Then I tried the wait a couple taps and set the hook. It seems the only fish I get are the one that tap and take. Those are never very big. I am fishing a 4 inch worm with a 1 hook. I don't have this problem when I use a 5" yamamoto with a 5/0 hook. I seem to take some good size fish(3lbs)

New to Bass fishing I am trying to learn how to fish a plastic worm, specificly Yamamoto Senko. I am fish texas rig no weight. I cast out and let sink usually when I get a hit its on the way down. I will get "tapped" but when I go to set the hook I come up empty. what am I doing wrong? Thanks
