It’s what I do when Walmart is out of Senkos or my wife forgets to buy them for me. The high priced bait is the pre Rapala Wiggle Wart I suggested. They are going up in price every day. Lately they are fetching $40 each in the good colors, in lightly used condition.

What part of Texas is that lake? Come on Steez send the guy some baits, weights and coordinates. Fairfield. 1/16th weighted weedless wacky rigged Senko. Watermelon/red/black fleck. The northern end of the lake in 8-10 ft (the boat), across from the spillway, casting to the edge of the Hydrilla. Can’t get more specific than that. Using a Falcon Lowrider 7’ medium fast rod with a Shimano Stradic FI reel. 20lb power pro super slick 8 with a 7’ 8lb Seaguar InvisX leader. Cast it out, let it drop a 8 seconds (4ft)...shake it, lift it, repeat. I’m there tomorrow thanks steeezzzzz

I have zero confidence in senko’s I would rather fish a twitch worm which is a Weightless straight piece of worm 4 or 5 inches with one or two small hooks in it

A small white single tail grub or a small white maribou jig even only one inch size will catch riprap bass when all else fails, but since there fun to fish and catch lots of fish I fish them all the time, riprap, edges and base of boat ramps and docks, marinas and tire reefs

Yes, 2.5 inch secret grub like lure in white and chartreuse on a small underspin will get bit along rip rap when nothing else will.
15lb braid to 8lb leader of your choice.

I like a pre-Rapala wiggle wart on 4 lb line. Best action. Bounce it off as many rocks as you can before it’s gone for good. Steel just go ahead and send me those Wiggle Warts because you won't have them too long on 4 lb. test
I fish on the edge and stay out of the middle

Anybody use inline spinners? There are a few places where I fish small ponds from the bank and a Rooster Tail is all I take with me.

I have 6lb 6oz smallmouth out of Bridgeport and lots of 3lb plus ckass smallmouth out there. Had 2 5s at Texoma weekend before last. PK was stacked again this year. Hopefully they keep adding them.
Retirement best job ever.
