Long Island Fishing- Fire Island Striped Bass On Live Bunker 6/6/11

Every Spring we have the bunker (Menhaden) move along Long Island’s South Shore beaches and right on their tails are a bunch of quality Striped Bass. Today the bunker schools were THICK and snagging the baits was very easy. A few of the schools were getting hit by the stripers but it took some hopping around to find the schools with stripers on them. Striper fishing on Long Island has really gotten good since the weekend and should hold up right into early July. Plenty of big striped bass are yet to come down the Fire Island beaches :-)

Hi Flier Charters Stripers on Live Grass Shrimp NJ Part 1

This is a typical summer trip to the Barnegat Inlet jetty on my charter boat, Hi Fler out of Barnegat NJ with live grass shrimp. We anchor up on a hard running tide and chum the shrimp into the rocks. We bait up 5 or 6 shrimp on a small hook, 30″ of 20 pound flourocarbon, and put 20 feet of line under the Redi-Rig Release Bobber. This bobber has a release clip on the bottom that releases under tension and then the float slides all the way down your line to the hook, allowing you to net the fish and bobber. Most of these fish are 22″ to 26″, shy of the legal 28″. but a blast on 10 pound spinnong tackle.This is Nick putting the boots to one of a dozen bass we caught this trip, including one 29″ that was also released. We also catch quite a few blackfish this way. www.hiflier.com

Bass Fishing with the Senko

Bass Fishing with the Senko

Article by Vince Earnhardt









The Senko has taken the bass fishing world by storm in the last fews years. This non-descript, even ugly, plastic worm type bait may be unappealing to the human eye, but it’s won more tournaments in the last few years then just about any other bass bait.

Just what is it about this chunky, cigar-shaped looking bass lure that has bass anglers talking? And how can you take advantage of it to put more bass in your bucket or livewell?

In this article, we explore the Senko.

As stated above, the Senko doesn’t look like it would catch any bass. It certainly wouldn’t catch your eye in the tackle shop, when it’s sitting next to much more interesting looking bait. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder here is bass.

The Senko’s got two advantages that you don’t see.

The first is that the Senko’s got taste. The taste of salt, that is, and it’s that taste that the bass love. Whether they smell it or taste it when they strike, the bass seem to hold right on to this bait once they grab it.

The second advantage is the flutter. Most strikes on the Senko occur on the drop, as the lure flutters down in a way that bass just can’t seem to resist.

When you combine the salty smell with the helpless fluttering, watch out!

Rigging a Senko is easy. It’s pretty much the same as you would any other plastic worm, except that with a Senko we want a slow drop to the bottom, to take maximum advantage of the flutter, so we rig accordingly. That means no weight, and lighter monofilament rather than fluorocarbon line. The best hook is a number 5/0 and the best size Senko is the five inch bait.

Fish the Senko with a medium backboned rod, with a stiff, but not too stiff tip, to set hooks effectively yet be able to feel strikes.

The best color is the watermelon color with black flecks in it. You can use this one in pretty much all conditions. You can also always rely on the dark water/dark bait practice as well.

As for the actual bass fishing technique, remember that most strikes on the Senko occur on the drop, so that’s when you’ve got to pay attention. Also, if you rigged the lure correctly, there shouldn’t be much need for any specific technique, other than paying close attention to the line-which must be slack, by the way. Look for a strike, then set the hook.

If it hits the bottom, twitch it a couple of times, then just reel the bait back in and do it again. Senkos work great in holes in weeds.

Then do it again and again. This method should prove very successful, as it has for many an angler.

Good luck, and happy bass fishing!
