airborne_angler Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Went fishing today and had a little luck,caught 4 small ones . On one cast, I was dragging my SENKO along the bottom and felt a "TAP-TAP",so I stopped and waited.After a few seconds of no action I began my slow dragging retrieve again and then suddely.......WHAM!!!. I set the hook and began a good fight,As the fish got closer to the bank I noticed a yellow color . To my surprise,what I caught was a fat ,pot bellied yellow catfish,or "mudcat" as ive heard em called. This was certainly a first for me. So now I know theres more than just bass and sunfish in this pond ,the fishing could get to be a little more exciting,when im tired of cranking for bass,I can lob a hook full of crawlers out and sit on the bank and wait for the bite to come. ;D Quote
piranha Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 I fished my first tourney last night as a co-angler. The only fish the guy caught who owned the boat was a bluegill, yup, on a senko with a 2/0 hook. On a similar odd note, I caught a shiner tonight on a spinner bait. Go figure. Quote
paully Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 hehe my first fish on a senko was today and it wasn't a bass it was a nice 4 lb channel cat Quote
the dude1301599870 Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Nice, nice...Seems to me that Senko's seem to be the magic. I'm a live bait fisherman myself and hope to land some major mo-fos this weekend since I rangled up somewhere around 100, 9 to 12 inch long Night Crawlers outa my front yard (try it) and am headed out to Large Mouth Central; I'll letcha know!...BTW I've never lost a tourney. Wish me luck!!! Quote
kirk Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Nope, they are not just for bass. I have caught a crappie and a huge snapping turtle on one. That was interesting, to say the least. Snappers have a negative attitude when hooked. Quote
HoosierAngler Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 I caught a Big Green Sunfish on a 5" Senko, I was using a 4/0 hook- I couldn't believe I hooked him ;D Quote
el_jewapo Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 the first fish i caught on senkos was a bowfin Quote
paully Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Hah! I just caught a bass and a WALLEYE on a senko today! I guess it can catch any fish! Quote
guacomole Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 I caught a HUGE bream on a senko once. It was massive, at least a pound. Quote
CBedo Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 My last club tourney, we put a crappie, walleye, white bass, and a cat in the boat on senkos and brushhawgs. Quote
senko_77 Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 i caught a few warmouth on 7 inch senkos. weird huh Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Add stripers and bluefish to the list! Quote
DoNKeYMEAT Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I have used Senkos on 1 OZ and 1 1/2 OZ jigheads while vertical jigging for lake trout.... They work at 100+ ft too... Quote
TheBeast Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Pulled in a bluegill once on a swimming senko. It came up a bit the tail I saw it and just reeled in slow and steady, it didn't let go till it was out of the water and over the boat. Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Holy grave digger batman! 2005?! x2 lol Quote
Bassboy15 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I caught a nice 3lber on a senko to, it makes you think you just hooked into a NICE bass, only to be disappointed Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Well I have caught a catfish on one before too and also a frog and a bat. Although the bat was not in the water when I got it just afterwords. Quote
avid Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I feel sorta left out. I have been fishing seko's for years and can't recall one fish I caught that wasn't a bass. What am I doing Wrong? :-/ Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Maybe your just doing everything right? I was thinking the same thing. ;D Maybe it is the rest of us that are off. Quote
Joshawa Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I caught this bad boy on a 5" Senko earlier this year Quote
