Dock Fishing Kinami Swimming Senko Cedar Lake Sept. 6, 2008

Sat, Sep 6, 2008

Dock fishing was calling my name last night when I got home after getting my hair cut. I had bought some Kinami swimming senkos a few weeks back but never really gave them a chance. I texas rigged one with a mustad 4/0 bleeding hook and starting fishing around the buoys and docks on the south shore of the lake. Since it was late and I only had 45 minutes of light left I didn’t expect too much action.

On my third cast with the swimming senko, I landed a 2.5lb largemouth off of a marker buoy. I was fishing it just like I would a regular senko for the most part, but would give it some swimming action around structure. This swimming action seemed to be the key since senko fishing had been slow the last few times I went out. Over the 45 minutes of fishing I landed 7 keepers (largest was about 3lbs), and I missed 3-4 good strikes.

If your senko fishing has slowed down this time of year I would recommend trying the swimming senko by yamamoto baits or kinami. I was using the 4 inch watermelon with red flake for those who were wondering, and the water was moderately stained last night.
