senko_77

Well keep workin at it and keep chunkin it out there. You will eventually get a good one. But like I said, really look into upgrading the size of your presentation to eliminate alot of the smaller bites. It seems like you are locked on to catchin a bigger fish, so I think you have the patience for fishing for that "one bite"

have you really had success with those things!?!? I am about to start selling my hand pours in a local tackle shop that carries them. I wasnt sure if I was holding a senko or a metal rod. Those things were stiff as a board.

Absolutly not!!! your just going through a dink spell. First off, alot of fisherman would love to go out and just consistently catch fish, regardless of size. And second, before I hooked into my 14.7, I had caught constant dinks for like a month and a half. I'm talkin nothing over 2lbs. Then boom, my lure gets placed in front of a big one and my dink spell is over. Keep fishing, and eventually you will come across a big one. Why dont you try some techniques that are more geared toward better size fish, like an upsized senko, jig, ledgebuster spinnerbait, or 10in. or greater worms. These will elimate most of the bites from smaller fish and will up your odds at a bigger one. Hope this helps

my favorite for skipping would be a 1/16 or 1/8 oz taco jighead with a strike king 3x trick worm superglued on. I stands STRAIGHT up and the glue makes it so it doesnt slide down the hook at all. hope this helps. Also, the senko is a great skipping bait, so your problem may be that the docks you are fishing may just not hold big fish. Look for the oldest docks you can find, and also, dont just fish under the dock, sometimes people throw things off the end of the dock, so back way off and throw at the end of the dock and bring it into deeper water. I cant tell you how many times my size of the fish I was catching has increased as I backed off the dock

the best times in hot weather is morning before the sun gets up, and evening when the sun goes down. The bass will move up shallow and feed all night. IN the daytime you need to fish deeper, because thats where the majority of the fish will be. You can find fish in the shallows if there is structure that provides them with shade.

the best replica of a real senko would be a hand pour

is the wood pressure treated or marine plywood or just standard plywood?

my best day was when I caught my 14.7, because I caught some 2's and 3's with it that day. That day my best 5 was probably in the 21lb range. My best day not rec fishing was when I was prefishing for a tournament on blackshoals and me and my freind mike caught around 17lbs on flukes

kentucky lake

whenever I think of it, it brings a smile to my face. I always like fishing but never really went except in the ocean, so my freinds dad took me and him to a little pond and rigged us up with buzzbaits. I thought they were the most insane thing I have ever seen. Anyway, it was nightime, and all the sudden BAM. Fish on. Only was like lb, but I was hooked that second

if the deal with crawchuck doesnt work out, call Del at del-mart molds. They make INCREDIBLE custom molds. his molds last forever, and the shine that comes on your baits after you pour doesnt wear out over time. There molds are meant to last a lifetime. Give him a call and talk it over with him

C-rig

I'll take it to my hoss lake. Will get a 10 and rub that keychain all over the fish. It will be nice and lunkered up for clay

I would alternate between a horny toad and senko. also, drop a jig into the vegetation in the deeper water

I would definatly wanna fish with Fly_Rod just for the insane laughing that would go on.

WOW. I must suck at fishing. On an average most of my fish are in the 1-2lb range. Im not really an in between fisherman. I usually will catch them up to around 3lbs. then i wont catch many in the middle, and then i get monster. My tourny fishin partner mike never catches monsters, but consistently catches them in the 3-6lb range. But it sounds like I may be fishing at the wrong lakes, because i never go out and have days were most of my fish are over 2lbs.

In the morning I like to throw topwaters such as poppers and buzzbaits in flats, because in morning is when those fish will come up there to feed, and a topwater is a good way to cover alot of water fast.

thats pretty sweet dude. hope it works

i would just keep pounding at that grass in there. Fish will stay in that thick stuff all year, just different techniques have to be used to catch them. Have you tried ripping a rattletrap through there??

i would say 7-8 is a big bass in Ga

what does the weight have to be to be a "master angler" for youth and adult?

i think its great muddy man. way to be observant. Have you signed up for the members challenge?? its another way you can improve your game. Thanks for the info

russ, when you threw that 3:16 frog in there, and that thing exploded on it. that looked like a big fish to me. I would think big fish come in there to feed

the bites ive had on the c-rig are always the normal "thump thump" but a little more dull

i doubt it would be considered a legal catch in a tournament.
