Re: Pearls of the truth from KVD
Hal, By far, Seth has been my best student. Good person, listens and puts forth maximum effort every single day. Don't know how many schools of bass he has gotten into already this year but it is often. I am not on facebook so I have no idea what he posts. He showed me a pic of his counter after one...

Re: Depth and speed question
Trust me Ken, FFS has answered so many questions I have had but sometimes what is seen, there can be no answer for sure. One thing for sure and I have said this many times. Buck got it all right. He gave us what was needed and if a person will just follow his guidelines, the catching will come. For ...

Re: Depth and speed question
Without FFS, you as a fisherman(spoonplugger) have no choice but to use depth and speed to make your catch using the mechanical process to eliminate unproductive water and arrive at the fish. You could go through all the motions and after catching nothing, you still don't know if the fish are there ...

Re: Winter Jigging for Catfish with Plastics
I have been a livescope guy for two years now and not once have I seen any fish run when they are in the area where they are seen on the screen. I have seen them run from my bait as it gets near to them and also seen them run over to it and eat it. That part of why has already been written. Fish bec...

Re: Anybody out there
Joe, There are a couple of spoonpluggers in NC that I know of but not sure how close they might be to you. When I first started back in the early 70's , there were three of us that knew nothing. We read the green book, there were no clubs, no internet, no one to help us. It was years before I saw so...

Re: The 2023 season How was yours?
Well done Ken. Good effort. Doing the right things provides a lot of personal satisfaction and the motivation to learn more. You will never get to the point where you can't get better. That goes for all of us. Good job. Say hello to Sarah for me. I miss her. John

The 2023 season How was yours?
So today I start about two weeks of depression. Old man weather is taking away the thing I love to do for a couple of months. It happens every year. Time is spent taking reels apart and oiling , greasing and put them into being ready for the next season. I have jigs to pour and tie so when the ice d...

Re: Not finding what is on the map....
Navionics maps are so bad. Sometimes your boat is up in someone's yard according to the map. Many times I am trolling a nice bar and the finger I go around is 100 feet away on the map. My way points on some of the bars with more than one finger are not even close to matching up with the map. The bes...

Re: Madison WI Fisherman - Did Bucks Study Course and I'm Hooked
Laughing............. The JB lure is not rare, just not advertised. At one time, a saltwater company was supposed to give me a little gas money to buy the whole works but they have yet to make a move so I still have over 100 available. They are 20 bucks each plus shipping. They really are not for be...

Re: Livescope
Here is something I have learned by observing with Livescope. Some of the very best schools of bass in the heat of the summer are on very flat, less obvious features and none of these spots are directly related to the deepest water in the lake or near any fast drop offs. Some lakes are showing no sc...

Re: Livescope
As of today, I don't want to give up any of my tools. I use them all with spoonplugging guidelines in mind. John
