I went to a different area this morning, the same area I did so well in for a couple of weeks last spring, and where I caught my first 50cm bass – hoping that the fish were in there or hadn’t moved out to deeper water yet. I started out with 5 and 4-inch Senkos and got dinked…I think I caught 7 or 8 dinks in a row and they were tearing my Senkos to shreds so I decided to switch to a spinnerbait to see if there were any bigger bass in the area.
The bass in the first pic was the biggest of the ones I caught on Senkos, the other two, as you can see, were caught on my trusty red/white spinnerbait, which I fished parallel to the rocks. This weird spring weather we’ve had has really thrown me for a loop because I’ve gotten used to the bass being in certain areas at certain times but this year, it’s anybody’s guess.

That’s what makes fishing interesting, and that’s why I love this sport
Nice catches Nomad!!
Are you using o-rings?
Steve,
You’re absolutely right, sir
If I knew for a fact I could go to spot X and catch a fish every single day, it wouldn’t be the fun and challenge that it is.
John,
I only use O rings when I wacky fish but in the areas I fish in the morning, there are tons of snags (rocks, nets, trash etc) so I’d lose a wacky rig on the first cast.
Your at it again Nomad, WTG!
Ty,
Last week I couldn’t go out for a couple of mornings because my wife and daughter were visiting the in-laws so I had to stay home from fishing so I could take the dogs out before work (they would have never lasted more than 12 hours). If I don’t talk to you before you leave, have a safe trip home and we’ll see you when you get back. Tell Angela hi for me! That battery will be charged and ready to go when you get back so bring lots of yellow/white spinnerbaits back with you
Yes sir! That will happen and I’ll definately be ready to fish since I won’t be doing any at home this time. Take Care Nomad. I’ll be checking this site so get that 5 pounder we talked about.
