Is there any other species?

The guy who taught me that technique, Scott Hansen, just waxed the rest of our club yesterday in our monthly tournament. He had 24.85, all on senkos. Second had 21.30, third had 16.35, and it dropped off from there. He said he was making ling casts with a T rigged 7" into a foot of water, and fishing both the "Scott" shot and the wacky senko in the sparse tulles shallow, for prespawn fish that were just moving up.
That's good info, thanks Mark! I feel like our fish just might respond to that kind of a presentation.

I'm from SoCal, with deep, clear lakes. I know how to fish those lakes.
The CA Delta is a river system, with dirty water, tidal swings, and lots of grass and tulles. It's a whole 'nother world.
I'm still learning, and I've been here two years.

Those are very similar to the conditions we have here, with the exception of the number of double digit bass you have there.

I'm still looking for my first double digit bass. Fingers crossed!

I've been catching little would-be lunkers for so long now that the 2 pounder I caught on Friday felt like a monster :crying: :laugh1:
