I love throwing senkos but my favourite way to rig them is Texas rigged or wacky rigged. For wacky rig senkos I usually use an O ring to secure the bait so I don’t lose as many senkos
You were maybe too loud while going to target the fish. If the fish get spooked then they won’t be active for a while. Also I suggest using a Texas rigged finesse worm to catch these shallow water bass
