The Spoonpluggers Forum

A very familiar area for me and some others. I was a bit shocked I didn't see 100 more boats. Must be down near wyandot. Good job guys. It's so great to see such young men doing so well. You have a very good start in the fishing world. And a nice looking boat. John

St.Clair has to be the closest thing to heaven I can imagine. John

Good job guys. Will be there soon. John

He has to be back to work monday or I am sure he would. You would love him. John

So Seth told me he had a week and three days off and asked me where he should go. St. Clair, Niagara river, ect ect. So the next time I hear from him he is four hours into his destination. Texas Lake Ivy (I dont know how to spell it but you get it).... He said he wants a ten pounder and that lake wa...

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...

Ron, Call me please John Bales

Great video and well done. Looks like so much fun. John

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 ...

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 ...

Lowland also. John

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...

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...

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

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...
