Default Ready for the weekend!

I plan on putting all of your advice to use this weekend. I went and purchased a garcia revo and new mojo poll. I also purchased some senkos and other plastics to put to good use this weekend. Good luck to all and thanks for the advice ill report back later on with the results.

I managed to have some really good luck this weekend. I ended up catching about 20 bass over the course of the weekend. The best part is I caught everyone of them off of your advice. I went and purchased some Trokar #5s i think different senkos all different brands and colors the winner by far ( caught almost 15/20 bass ) on strike king sweet tater pie 5 " senkos. All were caught with no weight simple hook and wacky rig. It worked amazingly well. I really appreciate all of the advice but as far as im concerned this is simply the best way to fish for me and its also extremely fun. I didnt catch alot of huge fish but i did manage to get a 4.5 pounder saturday and my personal best 5.3 pounder today. Thanks for all the advice as soon as i figure out how to post pics from my phone i will of my biggest bass.

That's awesome, congratulations! Senkos are a great bait to catch a lot of fish on. They are so versatile and simple at the same time.

fantstic!! a word though on measuring the fish, put the head where oyu got the tail buddy. close the mouth and squeese the tail for a more accurate measurement.

but that is a wonderful looking bass. beautiful fish.

congrats agian man.

Correct reverse it close mouth can pinch tail together if necessary,the one thing I see very correct is that golden rule,most T use that to measure with,and all T anglers should the same as the T does.
Nice healthy fish.

Another fun fact. A fish will almost always measure longer on one side than it will on the other.
