Since Ty and company have been slaying the bass lately, I decided to take Friday off in conjunction with the 3-day weekend and get a little fishing in myself, in the same area they’ve been going lately. I woke up a little late and didn’t get out there until a little after 6 with Senkos in hand – here are the 4 biggest ones I caught this morning:
The bass (at least these bass) were in shallow water, less than 3 feet deep, hiding among some thick weeds and vegetation. As you can see, I was using 5-inch Senkos, black and black with blue flakes, on 30-pound braid. I wasted about 30 minutes throwing a black and blue jig into the weeds, hoping that I could at least catch one fish but all they wanted were Senkos – or, I just don’t know how to fish a jig, which is entirely possible. By 8, the sun had climbed high enough to hit the water and it was like someone turned off a switch; not a bite after that.
By the way, isn’t all fishing FUN? 
Nice going Nomad, looks like they’re running like salmon in that area.
I should have taken a picture; those weed patches aren’t very big and not all over, so they are the only cover around. Maybe that’s what’s drawing the bass to those areas?
Nice catches Nomad.
I’ll be posting a post up soon about my day yesterday
