Caught Three Sunfish/Bluegill and Finally a Bass While Tenko Fishing!
Caught three Sunfish/Bluegill and finally a Bass while Tenko Fishing. Caught them on the "Mini-Mum2", the smaller of the two Tenko Worms we hand poured. Did get a decent Bass to strike the "Mini-Mum1" but it came off the hook while trying to land it. Still a good trip!

Tenko Fishing Gets a Sunfish and Two Shellcrackers!
Did another field test of the hand poured Tenko Worms at Bethany this evening. Caught a little Sunfish on the Mini-Mum2 and two decent size Shellcrackers. One took the Mini-Mum2; the other went for the Mini-Mum1.
Had several Bass take the lures but they quickly threw the hook. Still working on a better hook to use for this type of fishing. Till then,... will keep woking on it!

Tenkara and Senko Worms - Tenko Fishing Anyone?
Been itching too flex the Tenkara Rod but have been side-tracked by Bass and hand pouring our version of a Senko Worm - the "Half-Quatro". So, to enjoy the two, why not combine them and call it Tenko Fishing - small plastic worms fished on a Tenkara Rod!
Since Tenkara Fishing uses small fishing flies, opted to modify the "Half-Quatro" to a smaller version. Made two variants of the "Half-Quatro". Going to call them the "Mini-Mum1" and "Mini-Mum2" for ease of reference.
Tested them out this morning at Bethany Lakes.... water levels are low but the fish remain near the banks and well within casting range of the Tenkara Rod (at least in the morning). Had several Bass strike the Worms but lost them while bringing them in. Used small Jig Hooks in lieu of a Bass Worm Hook; will need to come up with a better hook to use else risk more lost Bass.
Made a change after a break off of a decent Bass.... Go figure, only poured two Worms, so was down to one Worm. Opted to fish the remaining Worm wacky rigged; had more strikes and misses. This kept up until the Worm split in two.
Not to be left without a lure in the Field, made do and tied on a smaller jig hook and fished using halves! Good thing.... Bluegill, Sunfish really liked it!
Had a fun time Tenko Fishing this morning. Will need to come up with a better hook to use, else am happy with the Worms - "Mini-Mum1" and "Mini-Mum2"! Will need to pour more for the next round.

A Little Bluegill At Bethany... Four Bass On the Half-Quatro At the Village!
Went to Bethany the other night and struck out except for a foul hooked baby Bluegill. Stopped by the Village for a quick trip before (yes, gotta keep our day jobs) work this morning! Glad to see the Half-Quatro is still getting strikes. Caught and released four Bass; no Bruisers but still a good trip... sure beats work!

More Bass at the Village Using the Half-Quatro!
Finally able to break away from the day job and wet a line. Opted to fish the Village to test out the hand poured Half-Quatro. Made three; lost two. Now left with only one. No worries, will make more later. Moreover, the Half-Quatro worked fine on a Carolina-Rig... caught nine Bass this round!

Half-Quatro Worked... Caught Three Bass At The Village!
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.
