Hello YouTube! It's Roger the Ex-Bass Guide again. I am going to show you how to work a three-inch Senko wacky rig. That's what it looks like. I will post some links so you can take a look little closer.
What you do is you cast it out. You will let it sink, even little slack. Let it fall in free line, close the bell, watch that line. If it moves, it's going to tell you, you might have a bite. So I will let it fall all the way to the bottom. When your line stops moving out, it's hit the bottom.
So you reel in the slack. Now you start shaking the rod tip. As you shake it, you are going to move your rod to vertical to release, to keep the line tight a little bit. It's vertical stop. Let the rod hit the bottom reeling the slack. Never reel and work the bait at the same time. You are going to move the bait up in the water column to far.
So the bait it's on the bottom, shake that rod tip some more. Keep that bait within 6-8 inches in the bottom, sometimes closer, not very often very much further up the bottom. That's where the fish are, 90% of the time is near the bottom. So shake it. As it comes towards you, you are going to get slack. Move your rod vertical. Stop because you can't shake it behind your head. Let it hit the bottom, reeling the slack doesn't take very long. Take it up and start shaking again.
Stop shakes, whatever the fish tell you they want, you shake it up. Sometimes I do this, it's not a good habit. I had better field without that way sometimes. Just shake it. Now I am shaking it real lightly, just shaken the slack. But it's not moving it very far. But as I do I am raising the rod tip slowly. That bait is just an inch or two off the bottom. Drop your rod, reeling the slack and shake it some more.
That's the technique guys. Go out and catch some big ones but please throw back any bass over three pounds and let him live to breed again and we will have fish for our life and the kids' life.
So have a great time. More videos coming on how to fish at the Morrison and see you out there in the water guys. Thanks a lot.
