Tweetyfish

I definitely need to grab one. There are a lot of wood type structures around but in most the places I fish I'm not aware of any type of grass or lily pads. Maybe sparse sections.

Well guys, I busted out my old Shimano saros I bought in college. Cleaned it up, oiled and greased it, spoiled with 8lb test mono with a 6lb leader. Went to the pond to test out weightless senkos and drop shotting. Skunked again! I put in about 2.5 hours on the bank from 7pm until I couldn't see. I guess you eventually have to laugh at it and try it again another day. Thanks for all the replies!

You said no variations but will this work with my current setup if I attach a 6lb leader to my braid?

I will give the finesse technique some more thought. Thanks guys!

Hey guys. New memer here, and I'm in a "rut". I know everyone has good days and bad days, but this year seems to be all bad days as far as catching em. Here's a little more on the story. I live in eastern ky. I fish from a yak and from the bank. A lot of creek and river fishing as well as what parts of lakes I can get to. I wouldn't consider myself a newbie, however I'm not in the running for the Bassmaster classic either. My normal set up that Always goes with me is a 7'0 mh rod with a casting reel (7/1 ratio). I feel like that should be pretty versatile for what I do. I have it spooled with 30lb braid and unless I'm throwing in murky water I use a 10' or so leader with mono. Now for the business end of the line. I pretty much throw everything from flukes to frogs. I would say my most used baits are flukes, worms (mostly senkos of some type) and craws on a jig or Texas rig. But as I mentioned I also throw lots of different things. I feel like I fish around good fish holding spots, such as brush, grass, logs, rocks and etc. And I mostly keep simple colors such as watermelon and pumpkin seed, white, and black. My my confidence is waning, as I've spent hours fishing this year with very little to show for it. I mean I'm not even catching a fish per outing sometimes. I know you can't catch em all everyday, but it just seems like it's that way for me constantly. I need some of you seasoned vets to chime in with some tips or tricks to get me back in the game. Thanks!
