Wife and I spent the afternoon at our favorite private pond. Found wads of fish hunkered down in the milfoil in 10-15' of water. Probably caught 30+ solid fish and 4-5 over 4. All caught deadsticking a watermelon 6" weightless senko except for the biggest (4-14) on a DT10. Water was 71 but 76 last week. The bite was very subtle, much like a little gill tap...........I'm learning to appreciate the FC! Here's a few of the better ones.

NICE post spawn fish! Post spawn can be tough, but it really looks like you guys capitalized!

Love the photos! How did you have your Senko rigged? T Rigged or wacky? I've never fished a Senko that deep in the weedbeds. Do you just slowly twitch it through the weeds?
