Poured a couple more "Half-Quatro" Worms... looks like they work. Went to the Village and caught three Bass using them.. Fun stuff... even better when you catch them on a soft plastic you poured not 30" before fishing it.

Other Commitments, but...!
Have other commitments that are keeping us from fishing but it still does not keep us away from the fishing mindset. Was out and about down South, stopped by an antique store in Gruene and picked up a couple of lures - a Hollow-Frog and a Tiny Torpedo!
Then, decided to pour a prototype plastic "Senko" worm. Calling it the "Half-Quatro" because it is a hand poured worm based on the 4" Senko. The difference is it floats and the bottom is flat - almost like the 4" Senko was cut in half!
Going to play around with this one a little, maybe make another version of it. That is, if we can keep from burning the plastisol!

Slow Night... Caught a Sunfish on a Senko?
Was a slow night at Bethany Lakes. Caught only one fish... a Sunfish on a Senko Worm. Was surprised given the 3/0 Worm Hook. Really wanting some rain to get the water levels up.

Unweighted Senko Gets Two Bass at Bethany.
Been wanting to fish the Senko without a weight but have been wary of backlashes using baitcasting gear. Decided to try it out tonight using the baitcasting combo from Cabelas - Shakespeare Agility Reel and Cabelas IM6 Rod.
Worked out well without a single backlash. Had no problem casting the 4" Senko we have been using. Only caught two Bass but it was a definite improvement compared to a weighted rig! Going to have to try it out again soon hopefully.

Jitterbug Gets Two Bass at Bethany Creek....
Fished Bethany Creek this evening. Fished a Carolina-Rigged Senko Worm at first. Had a decent strike but lost it soon after. Switched to a Jitterbug and had another strike but lost it as well. Kept working the Jitterbug, finally catching a Bass that struck the lure as soon as it landed on the water. After a number of casts later, caught a decent Bass that went about 16" in size!

Caught Four Bass At The Village This AM... One Went 16.5" in Size!
Fished the Village this morning using Carolina-Rigged Senko Worms and the Cabelas Baitcasting Combo we picked up last week. Enjoying catching them on plastics... but the bite seemed to have slowed. The heat, lower water levels, and other things may be impacting fish activity. Caught three little Bass working the shoreline, then caught a decent Bass that went about 16.5" in size by working a deep pocket with a slowwwww retrieve.

Struck Out the Last Two Nights, Was Able to Catch Two Tonight....
Struck out the last two nights at Bethany and Kroger. Was able to catch two tonight at the Village. Used Senko Worms and worked the pond without a strike for the first hour, but then the bite was on shortly before sunset. Lost three Bass before finally hooking one. Caught another Bass, and then lost one more before heading home. Good stuff regardless of the 103 degree temps!
