I do a lot of bass fishing in the Adirondacks. You can't beat a senko rigged weedless with a 2/O worm hook. I have hundreds of dollars of other lures I've accumulated over the last three decades and they hardly get used over the senkos. I find that any of the dark colors work best. Tip - the bass pro brand knockoffs are just as good as the yamamoto brand originals and a lot less expensive.

Agree. the Gary Y arent nearly as durable either. When I kayak fish for bass all I bring is a bag of Senkos and a couple white spinnerbaits. They hit that Senko on the fall 75% of the time, I just watch my line

Wrong. I have to row everywhere. The tree stands of fishing are “motors” on boats.

I'm a lazy fishermen I use mostly live bait/worms I even fish with a dobber/float most of the time or I fish bottom water for bullheads using chicken livers as bait.If fishing for crappies I use a rubber grubs on a 1/8 ounce jig.

If youre fishing for gamefish, like bass or pike , will catch more fish on lures than live bait hands down.  Personal best day with senkos....84 bass.  Not a fish story. Lol.

This was last summer was a good time but they fight feels much better on a fly . We still had a blast 

U gotta be the first guy I ever heard not have a a hookup with a fighter !!! That's a solid board too... Looks like a couple good ones in there. My dad got a 12# that took 15min to fight in. Maybe they like you and the Dreamweaver, but they hate me and want to fight till their dead ! Either way, invite still stands for this summer

Im just busting chops with Biz, didnt mean to derail thread.

 

So Sodfather get a Senko kit and good 2/0 worm hooks and a jig kit with several size jig heads. A bucket of single Colorado blade white spinnerbaits and youre all set.

[Robhuntandfish]

Hard to go wrong with flukes too . And as grampy said a Texas rigged craw or a swimbait...  

Easiest to learn to use is the spinner bait.......chunk and wind.  White and chartreuse.

I lost all of my good rods and reels in my brothers divorce. They were in his boat. Ive been replacing slowly

I appreciate the offer aboard the Bost sounds like a good time if you ask me looking forward to it. And thanks for getting the song Dreamweaver stuck in my head. Those fish did fight don't get me wrong my arms were gassed after that day.. I don't have the boat to take up that sort of style of fishing. But I guess that's why BOAT stands for

I'll definitely get some of those Senko's . Seams like the majority like soft plastics. Back when I had lots of lures it was rattle traps and tons on rapalas . Lost them all in the Tondawanda Creek . What about line, I used spiderwire 15 years ago. I used it for chug bugs. I guess I'm getting cabin fever sick of this white s*it

For bass fishing with senkos, I like a medium fast action spinning rod, MItchell 300 reel and Green Trilene XT in 8 or 10 pound test.

We snagged up a few times using regular line on that spider wire. What a pita   I eventually retrieved a loose end and coiled up about 50 feet of it. It came with a huge Rapala and a Rattle trap snagged up in it. 

A tip of fishing Erie. If you start catching Goby. Stay there. Them bass love them.

I love fishing it but the simplest snag or tangle and its impossible to work with

[BizCT]

I caught a 20lb king in port Ontario on a row boat. Took me like 20min to land. My forearms were burnjng

Cmon a screaming salmon ain’t no dead log.   Sounds like you focused on lakers.  

Expand  

  We did lake Erie lakers last fall & they are not dead logs  either those suckers just fight like hell to get back to the bottom!  Also hooking into them on the lower Niag. while drifting they fight like crazy like a large bass only bigger.

[BigVal]

I can't imagine rowing everywhere to fish gotta give credit on that one. My buddy has a 300 Mercury on his Lund. Game changer compared to his old 150 lol.

And for tackle I'm limited on largemouth but smallies in lake Erie we do some drop shooting with gulp, tubes, etc. If you ever wanna Target walleye locally give me a shout I usually have good reports.

We still target lakers when things are slow and they do fight.  They just won't rip line.  My father couldn't move one last year.  A good 20min fight and the laker finally won.  But not near as exciting as when you are afraid of getting spooled.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Wacky rigged Sankos/creatures, Spinnerbaits, different styles of Rapalas, Pop-Rs and Joes Flies. That covers my typical bass interval. Once in a while Ill switch it up with other types of lures, but those are what I catch most of my bass on.
