If the Rock cliff smallies get too much bigger on us, we might unwittingly be taking up waterskiing from the float tubes. We also may get a wakeless area violation ticket if we hook up a real big one. (just kidding all)
Seriously, one (admittedly novice) observation on the senkos. If you have been bored enough to read my Rock Cliff posts, senkos have been very good to me up there. I also have experimented with most of my bassin lures up there (i don't have that many types) with occasional success. Why I feel the senkos may be a cut above at Jordanelle, is that the perch will leave them alone long enough to permit it to get in front of the bass. Yes, they still bite them some, and I have caught my share of perchies on them, but the yellow ones don't hit them with the intensity they hammer any size of grub or tube jig I have tried. (small spinners too) I am sure the more knowledgable bassers have other lures that are in this category and I would predict they also would work well if properly used. It has been fun to go up there and fish. I learn something new every trip and I too can't wait for the next two months. Good luck to all this weekend.
