Nice! The fish may not have been big but they look super healthy.
Hard to beat a Senko on tough days. Definitely saved my butt on my last trip to Hagg. Do you ever try a light swim jig in those situations? I have been throwing one this year and have done decent in clear water (weedy, rocky and woody). They come through cover really well and are a somewhat selective on larger fish.
I have tried some smaller keitechs with Ned heads but end up fishing them more like jigs, I have had some success with 5" keitech baits on a weighted swimbait hook. I really should throw them more
Just didn't have them with me yesterday!
I wasn't planning on fishing there at all, planned to creek fish for smallmouth and took as bare minimum as possible
Also I refer to them as keitechs, but I use a mix of them, strike kings, and the BPS brands
Same think with a senko, 99% of the time I throw the BPS stick-o, caught thousands of fish on them. Only break out the Gary Y. Versions for super clear and pressured water
The stick-o's cast better and last longer, and they are much much cheaper
