Took Friday off and went to Brunswick MD. I was on the water at
6:00 AM. Saw fish all over the fish finder in the deeper water. I caught 5 bass by 8:30. All were caught on the Yammie Senko.
Only two were over a foot (13 inches each).. whenever you hook into any smallmouth, they all fight like crazy.
About 9:00 I ran my jet lower unit into a rock and f'ed up my boat. Luckily, I found a great welder who welded up the cracks in jet outboard lower unit. I got lucky in that I did not have to buy a new lower unit (cost $1500). $ Damage for the welding was $120. I should know better than to run around like a wild man in the rocks. Well, that put a damper on the day. I left by 10 AM.
I put the lower unit back on and I am ready to try again.
The Senko is one of the best lures I have every used. I am not getting anything on tubes anymore. I am hoping for a Upper River comeback. I remember catching dozens or even (over 100 fish) bass when I went to this stretch of the river 10-12 years ago. I should try to find some 2 inch power grubs in pumpkinseed.. Those were the ticket to a large number of fish in the early or mid- nineties.
Know I have electronics, a bass boat, more experience, but it seems I ultimately catch less (unless it is October or November)>
My best catches on the river for size was from 1997 through 2000.
Know water quality is down. I remember being able to see the bottom of river before the last couple years. maybe we need a new infestation of weeds. I haven't seen anything growing for aboout three years now.
