I live in the Eugene area. The one technique that always works is a waitless senko. It works so well I have a hard time deviating from it. I seem to always fish in 5-10 feet of water and around weed beds. I wish I knew how to fish in deeper water with other tackle. What type of water demands a crank bait? What should I do when its windy a my Senko doesnt sink naturally? I want to branch out as a bass angler and I tempted to bring binoculars with me next time so I can see how other people fish for bass in big lakes in oregon. Any advice on how to break my senko addiction?
