Big Phish

I just spent the weekend and a buddies vacation home on this lake and didn't boat a single fish. Now, fishing wasn't by any means the focus of this trip, as I was the only fisherman there. But in the couple hours I spent in the kayak throwing senkos along weed lines and isolated structure, I expected to at least get 1 bass in the boat. Anyhow we might go back on labor day so i was hoping someone can give me a hint or two so next time maybe I can boat a bass.

nice fish! especially for the derty jers. feel free to PM me what lake that is.

you should really just get some senkos

I love jig fishing but i chose the senko only because i really cant imagine life without them.

thats exactly how i feel. facebook takes away so much from actual human contact. its a social networking site that actually ruins social interactions.

no one has anything to report lately? I've been working a ton but I'd love to hear if any of you other jersey guys are nailin' em

i deleted my facebook once it hit me how ridiculous it really is.

in the heat try fishing deep. If you have a depth finder look for some deep water structure and fish jigs, deep cranks or drop shot. In the rain and overcast the fish may feel more comfortable to spread out so you can really use any technique you'd like and definetly give some topwater a try. If never hurts on a dark day.

I went to a little local pond after work today and shore fished for an hour or so with the 7.5 black/shad culprit. It totally killed it. I got six fish in an hour, 5 bass and a pick. I've had a pack in my box for a couple weeks and decided to whip em out on a whim. It was a great decision and I can honestly say I'm done with Power Worms for the time being. The action on culprits is just too good. Also the durability is great. I got all these fish on the same worm and it's still on the end of my line. Thanks Culprit.

picks are always a fun catch

seriously, thats some good advice.

how have you made it this far in life without one?

i know what you mean. as soon as i upgraded my line i quickly realized how much stretch actually affects sensitivity and how much stretch there really is.

welcome, theres plenty of bass fishing in your area, check out the northeast forum on this site.

thanks for the info guys. as far as the hook set goes ive never really used a very aggressive hook set with cranks anyhow. I keep my hooks sharp and i find that when i reeling and a fish hits one of those six hooks are gunna set themselves. i usually just use a slow pull set off to the side to ensure that the fish is on. I save my really hard sets for jigs and wacky rigs and what not.

I've been using braid for about a month now on both of my casting set-ups. I've tried a couple different leaders and ways of spooling and I would just like to know if what I have settled on is proper. I'm using spiderwire code red 20lb test. For the backing I'm using about 30 yeards of some 8lb mono and for the leader I'm using 3-4 yards of 12lb flouro. What I would really like to know is will the inconsistencies in diameter affect performance or does it not really matter? Also is there anything at all that I should be doing differently? Btw both of my set ups have said line, leaders and backings, and they are a mojo bass crankbait and a mojo bass jig and worm each paired with abu garcia black max reels.

It's funny you guys are talking about a 12 being to small. Before I got to go check it out he sold the last 12 to someone, but now has a 14 foot with a live well that he will give me for just 50 bucks more. I gave him a deposit and I'm gunna go back thursday to pick it up.
