Hit the lake this morning on a scouting mission to find some new holes.
Did I ever find one! Within the first half hour or so I stumbled on one of the holes that produced all last summer and yanked four fish on Senkos.

Also flagged down Flying in his tube. He caught a few redears and a bass I think while I was out there. Maybe he'll have some pics.
He's the bright yellow thing out there.

There was a couple other younger tubers out there too looking for the bass I think.

I stopped fishing right after I slayed all those fish on like back to back casts with worms and broke out the 8wt fly rod. Couldn't get any fish though because I had my sinking line on and I was using it from shore, so it was just an hour long wading weed session. Forgot to spool on the floating line.

Oh well, got a few on senkos, met up and fished with Flying again and found a new hole to fish for a few. Another productive half day on the water. Thanks for reading. Pics brought to you from my iPhone.

No swallowed hooks today luckily.
Doesn't usually happen much with the senko when I rig and fish it this way.
When I feel the bite though, I make sure they have it before I set. Probably why they get it a bit deeper. I'm sure by the time I do feel the bite they already have it anyways then I wait that extra second until I feel their weight and swing.

Now when I go flyline on the Ika with an EWG, then they start to eat hooks. :Confused: I don't know why. These hooks here all popped right out with the twist of a plier.

It was rigged with "the tool" (http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpage-WACKRIG.html) and a weedless gamakatsu wide gap (http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageGAMAKATSUDS-GFWH.html). Flyline. 6lb Inviz-x.
Same worm caught all four fish. The last (biggest, 3rd picture I think) fish shook the worm, and I took that as a note to swap out to the fly rod.

Hey TJ nice going out there . I had a feeling I'd see you.
I just got the 2 redears and one dink Bass. Felt good to get yanked on as its been a few trips out there with nothing.

Little sucker splashed me good in the face:Angry::LOL:

Nice looking fish TJ, good job finding the lucky hole!

I noticed you reel with your right hand as well, I'm a righty and get "carp" for it all the time....I'm just curoius are you a righty or lefty?

Keep up the good work and the reports coming!

Yeah I'm right handed. That's why I put the handle on the right. lol

I just noticed I hold my sandwiches with my left hand though. My right hand does nothing when I bite the sandwich.

I think I'm ambidextrous maybe? I can drum on either side.. either foot.. either hand.

When I skate, I skate normal footed. Not goofy.

That is what I say! :LOL: I mean you grab just about any conventional setup off the rack and you reel with the right and pump the rod with your left correct? So why should that change just becsue you are using a different type of reel....I even had one guy try to tell me "cause your rod guides are facing a different directly entirely" :ROFL: Sorry for the thread jack as I have discussed this topic before here on FNN, just wanted to get your opinion TJ, thanks.

I can spin the handle with greater accuracy and balance using my right hand.
It feels funny cranking with the left. Perhaps I am then not ambidextrous.

I was told that I should get matching right and left baitcasters. This way, when one is tiring I can go to the other. Too goofy for me though. My hooksets would be all over the place.

When my uncle handed me his nice spinning combo years ago in the Sierras, I told HIM that HIS handle was on backwards, and subsequently continue to do so to everyone with their crank on the left side.

I have also been told I miss bites while switching hands to reel (because I put the rod in my right hand to cast it and then switch it back to my left hand so I can reel with my right). But I know this to be untrue, as I can do "the switch" before the bait hits the water.

I also sidearm my baitcasters with my right hand, and while the bait is in the air, switch the rod to my left hand so I can reel with my right. lol
All whacked out.

If I got a left handed baitcaster, I could cast with my right hand and reel with my left so no rod hand switching, but my right hand does not set the hook with authority like my left does. So I do the switch in mid air.
