Pretty good weekend at the lake house - six LMB including a a 4 1/4 pounder (first pic), three from 2-3 pounds, and a couple of dinks, three perch all around 10”, 18” pickerel, and a nice-sized crappie. I was determined to catch fish with something other than a wacky-rigged 5” senko - but no luck with anything else. Tried Zoom flukes, chatterbait, spinner bait, squarebill, swim jig, small popper - nothing.

Nice catching Don. I do the same thing, run through the rotation of the other 5 rods, and then back to the worm rod. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 🤣

Great fishing. My son is really getting into fishing thanks to all y'all sharing your catches. Keep it up, it's inspiring

Hey Don, I fished Black Lake almost every day during the summer as a kid. My family rented a bungalow at Wonderlake Lodge and we rented a boat from Mr. Fry(sp.?) who owned most of the land around the lake.
Always fished with live shiners which we caught on a tiny hook and dough. Bass were the target.
This was over 60 years ago. Looks like we did leave a few fish there.
Nice bass and speck.

A senko is a salt-impregnated plastic worm made by Yamamoto. Several companies make a similar bait - Yum Dinger and 6th Sense Clout are 2 others. Comes in all sizes, but 5” seems to be most popular. Usually rigged wacky style or Texas rigged and fished as soft stick bait.

My favorite colors are - for wacky rig, watermelon/red flake, pumpkin/black and green flake; for Texas rig soft jerk bait, watermelon cream laminate, pumpkin/black and green flake. Baby bass and green pumpkin are also great colors.
