Tie a Gamakatsu Number 4 Octopus Circle hook directly to your braid and fish a wacky Senko really slowly. Make sure that you let it fall all the way to the bottom on slack line. It should fall vertically; you don't want it to "pendulum" back toward you. Watch the line that's floating on the surface. It will twitch when a fish picks up the Senko. If nothing happens, reel in the slack, twitch the Senko with your rod a few inches and let the Senko fall back to the bottom. Lather, rinse, repeat. Don't be afraid to throw your Senko really tight to any cover that you find. Good luck!

only on the flip,, this year my fish have been mostly on 30lb floro Wink

and Im dropping more or less right off the side of the boat,, with a heavy weight,, its a reaction,, plus I camo the braid,when I do use it, big fish arent stupid,, little fish are,,but they learn,, thats why you can catch your biggest fish at night,, they are feeding, and they move up in the water column, they are more vulnerable,, I have caught a few fish in the 6lb range and alot of 3 to 4lb lb,, but hey thats flippin Cool

Hopefully I do better next year,, or on my trip to the Harris chain this winter,,
