Their Goal: To Cover a Lot of Water

When my friends Rob (right) and Mitch (below) pulled away from the West Neck ramp about 6 o'clock yesterday morning, they wanted to sample what several spots had to offer, and as it turns out, they were successful in that respect.

The phone call I received yesterday afternoon revealed they had hit three or four different areas in six hours on the water and, in the process, had boated a collection of 14 bass.

There were no big ones. In fact, said Rob, "Our biggest might only have gone about 2 lbs." He went on to say that their best five probably would have weighed 5-and-a-half or 6 lbs.


They had some success with frogs, but Senkos proved to be the primary fish-getter. Having watched Rob boat some fish in Saturday's tournament with Senkos, I wasn't surprised to see him give them another try yesterday. I, too, frequently start an outing with the same bait that treated me the best on the previous trip. It doesn't always work, but it makes for a good starting point before you resort to emptying the tacklebox.

To top off their fishing day, this duo made a trip to Bass Pro Shops. As anyone who fishes Senkos knows, it doesn't take very long to go through a pack or two and maybe more.
