Well, I took my little inflatable to a lake yesterday. This particular lake is rather tough to fish, especially from the bank, but it is the closest bass water to my home.
I have fished this lake from the bank about 6 times in the past and only caught 3 bass. So I wanted to see if I could do better from a boat.
The morning started well as I caught 4 or 5 dinks between 6:30am and 9:00am from 4 foot of water along weed edges, then the bites stopped so I moved into deeper water and caught one tiny little fella…
I covered almost all of the small lake with lots of different depths and lures, but the only lure that shone this day was a (wait for it Nomad) real GY Senko (5” watermelon/red flakes) fished wacky rigged. I tried copy senkos also, which did catch a few fish, but the GY Senko was by far the superior bait of the day.
Here’s a few more fish…
And the biggest for last, caught on almost the last cast of the day…
By the way, isn’t all fishing FUN? 
Nice going Steve, and again, welcome home!!!
Thanks Rob, it sure is nice to be home, and even nicer to be on the water again
Those bass can be finicky critters at times! There’s just something about a GY Senko; the way it falls and moves in the water and feels to the fish that I don’t think anyone has quite been able to duplicate yet.
Yeah, it’s sink rate was almost double that of the Alluring senko (which still caught a couple of bass) due to the salt content, which I think was the main reason for the success on that day.
Represents some nice fishing in my book, Steve. Pretty fish even if small.
