Lightninrod Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Went to my boss's pond with my best friend Bill on Thursday. We both caught a total of about 8 dinks and a couple of heavier ones fishing from the shore. Today, I went to the swamp pond and caught just two 2 lbers. Both days had bluebird skies with wind and temps in the 50s. 3 lber 2 lber 2 lber Another 2 lber Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syfer420 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Awsome catches, as always. I see your still producing with a pumkin senko on there, do you use that bait year round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutfisher Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Keep up the catching, Lightnin! You can nail them in any weather! I see that silver crank produced pretty well for that 2 lber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightninrod Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks for the comments y'all. Syfer: That's their #196 color. It's second to their color #222 in producing for me. Tf: Yes, that Rapala DT 10 is a 'keeper'. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutfisher Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I figured...I'm not much into crankbaiting, but that bait looks like a keeper to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknfish9001 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 couldnt help but notice the size of your weight on that swim senko. Do you always use fairly heavy weights, or do you think its necessary to give the lure its action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you always use fairly heavy weights, or do you think its necessary to give the lure its action? I've never(maybe once?) T'rigged a 5" Senko but the new Swimming Senko 'begs' for a weight and a T-rig because of its more active tail section. I believe a heavier(I'm using a 1/4 or a 3/8 ounce, Gambler rattling screw-in weight.) weight is necessary to make the tail 'work' on its initial drop to the bottom.

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted November 20, 2006 Super User Share Posted November 20, 2006 Good idea on the added weight. I have yet to see one of the swimming senkos in action, do you prefer it over the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to decide............................. :-/ In a shallow water, weightless rigging, I think the original might have a slight advantage over the SS but not much. In deeper water, T-rig situation, I'd go with the SS. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
