Need some advice.......

Im fishing in a bass tournament in lovely WI. Problem is...its been raining 4 straight days and is spose to be cold and chance for rain tomorrow. The lake we are fishing is a good "worm lake". I pre fished it last week...of course it was nice then. Any one have any input on where I should look for fish in the morning......Any response would help. I could fish wacky worm(never done that) but that is the only choice i think i have in the morning.

Thanks for any response and keep up the good work on this sight. I have found it very useful!!!!!

If ya want to try a senko or tiki stick, in watermelon punkinseed, dont let the whacky rig psych you out, I use a 3/0 gammy offset to whacky rig, and have hardley ever get hung up..especially during hard bites, I let it cast out and sit, and dead stick it.....only other bait I'd recommend is the tube. same color, I am sold on watermelon punkin seed

JB,
Thanks for the input. I actually just bought a senko kit....My dad and I were just talking bout using it tomorrow morning. I've never fished them so I really don't know how to do it. Am I looking for a ridge in deeper water to use them?

Welcome to the forum!

I use a wacky rig the same places I use a regular worm, but senky-type baits are also good rigged weedless like a T-rig only with no weight. With the rain the lake may have some stain to it or even be muddy. I'd keep a spinnerbait handy, too. The more stained the water the tighter to cover I'd fish. Keep an eye on the water temp, too-if it is around 65 the big girls may be on the beds, so check the shallows. Good luck!

Basser,
thanks for the input......I always have my trusty spinnerbait next to me...U can fish a senko the same way as a t rigged? Ill have to give that a try also.....startin to get pumped to get out there!!!!!!!!

I think its the super slow horizonal descent that makes the bass wanna go for it..... the only thing I've ever hung up with a whacky rig is in heavy
pond scum or weeds, other than that I throw it anywhere thats wet
