Hey guys - my first post. Been having a pretty good run over the last week or so. After reading some of the posts here, I picked up some senko worms and big hooks. It's been working really well for me.
7/1 - Stopped off at Eagleville Lake on my way home from work. Fished from the Mansfield side of the dam into some lilypads. First cast - Bam! Got a nice LMB.
7/4 - Took the canoe out on Mansfield Hollow, and worked some of the coves near the boat launch. Picked up two LMB, both pretty small. One was only about 8" or so, and the hook went right through his cheek. I'm always surprised to see fish hit on bait that's nearly half their size!
7/5 - Spent half my lunch break fishing behind work at Lake Pocotopaug. Fishing's usually crap at this spot because it's so shallow. Today was my lucky day, I guess, because I landed a nice 14" LMB.
I got all of these fish on Wacky-rigged 4" Green Senkos. My first time using these lures, and I'm amazed at how many fish I'm catching. Wish I'd discovered them years ago.

Hey, Stephen. Steve Jobs won't let me view Flash based videos on my iPhone, but that's the sketch with Dan Akroyd and the blender, right?
Last night would have been perfect for Kokanee or trout fishing. They were rising all over the place on Highland Lake. The water was like glass at midnight. _________________ Don't forget to wear sunscreen and don't litter!
try using a 5" senko. one of my favorite techniques is wacky rigging senkos, have tried 4, 5 and 6 inch. going to the five inch may catch the eye of some bigger fish for you. id say 5" is the most popular size for lmb

Pure fishing, despite ruining Penn, did one of the largest studies on largemouth bass, some of the results can be found in the book Knowing Bass by DR keith a. jones.
Bass are most likely to hit worms, and rapalas around 5 inches.
Its an interesting book, but not a page turner. its more like reading a biology text.
