How to bank fish a pond with a Senko

  • I really explain a lot of things about bank fishing, senko fishing ,counting down and locating a school of big bass from the shore! I'm fishing a farm pond in central Missouri. It's springtime with the dogwoods blooming, turkeys gobbling and the bass ready to spawn. This is a glorious time and place to fish and I try to make it to this area every spring for about a week or so.

      Not sure where you live, here in Texas we have lakes and huge ponds are that stocked like no other. I was just out in Lake Lewisville near The Colony and I was catching bass nearly every cast I threw like Roland.
      You gotta find the right place where they are schooled.

    Pretty hard to argue against Rolands view of the 297 senko when he catches over 20 pounds of fish in one spot on the bank and makes a cast to the same area on the pond.

    Roland Martin taught me to fish(via his youtube videos) with a Texas rigged yamamoto senko (297 Green Pumpkin) on a 04 EWG hook and My fishing has never been the same. I have caught more bass since I found his videos during covid then I had in my entire life (44 years old in 2020). I catch tons of bass on mono line and often on braided line. a key factor that I also learned from Roland Martin is that you need braid when your fishing areas where fish will get into plants and grass etc as you reel them in. In those conditions your mono might break if your bass gets into a bunch of grass etc.

    @jdogg661420 3 роки тому

    i like the 5 inch also. though i think the bigger gets bigger fish.. the 5 is like perfect for catching 2lbs and up.. i use 4s also but then the fish are usually under 2lb. if i do 6 inch or more.. then a lot less bites. what hooks were you using? the bad thing in cali.. at least here at this pressured spot i never found a school from the banks that i can catch many fish.. and its super rare for me to even catch 5 from the banks in one 3-4 hour session. i would say the average even with senko.. is 1 fish every couple hours.. but at this pressured lake i would say that is still good.. because many skunk here trying everything in the books.. the drawback of dropshot and senkos though.. its the slow way to fish.. but if you arent catching its the best ways to go.

    Roland thanks to you I have improved my fishing techniques! In my country Argentina we do not have sea bass but there is a species of fish called tarariras, it is very similar to a snake head that uses lures and very similar techniques with the difference that the tararira has teeth and we use a larger diameter steel or flurocarbon Leader. I really love when he does bank fishing!

    @wesleybigham1 3 роки тому +3

    Mr. Martin I noticed you always use a weight when fishing a senko, and obviously it works for you cause you prove it in your videos by catching fish. But For some reason when I fish my senko weightless I get way more bites and catch more fish. It doesn’t matter if I’m fishing in 12 feet of water or 12 inches of water. Do you ever fish the senko weightless? But other then that, All your tips I use when it comes to fishing a senko. There was a time where I would take everything in my tackle box to the lake and now I take one rod and a couple of packs of those good ole Gary Yamamoto’s 297’s and I’ll out fish anybody there!
