I will add one thought, and that is to take a pass occasionally through the shallows to keep ‘em honest. With a dying back deeper weedline, the fish can either go deeper/suspended or shallower. Buck wrote that in less than 8-10 ft of water, cover becomes the adjustment to offset a bad situation, an...

2 years old works fine I am just not comfortable with the technology Original cost $1450. will sacrifice for $1000.00 free shipping. A reminder this unit will only work with Humminbird Depth sounders. See fish and structure in real-time, with no gaps in sonar coverage, powered by the unmatched detai...

Thanks Brian Nice to see Buck receiving a nod on this subject.
Don Dickson has a more indepth training video in a 2 part training session on this subject.

I always found that this time of the year fishing is very hit or miss. As you mentioned John, the "change" starts happening (unstable). Went down to central and southern Il a week ago. Fished 2 lakes I know very well. A few small bass on one lake and zero on the other. This changing/unsta...

Sad for sure Not sure if they Navionics stop it or sold it to Garmin. I used it quite a bit and was beginning to see some faulty information. Will be interesting to see what Garmin does with other than charge heavy fees to use. The last couple years I have very few fisherman that really understand a...

Nice find. So there are some Troller still around. It looks very clean and well care for.

Champ your right on! My Bro in law was a camera man for years mostly College SEC football and racing. He did film Dance for his TV show once spent 2 days on water One Bass was caught and they a made a 30 minute show out the 25 that were caught that one fish was shown from many different angles 20 ti...

Met Seth Wingard a few years back watch him fish a structure on one of my Lakes, New immediately he was a spoonplugger just by the way he was working the structure. We spoke for a bit and found he was a good friend of JB"s Check out his FB page he recently posted on. https://www.facebook.com/se...

This comes right from Buck Perry's book copy written in 1965. KVD knows He used Bucks system of fishing to build a great career

Ditto Ditto Looks like a blast. Great job Steve and Casey

Really looking forward to the discussion on your question. In my spoonplugging days I have absolutely zero experience with Reservoirs or man made bodies or water. Natural lakes are my domain here in SW Michigan. This sounds like a great discussion starter.

Yes, both ways as long as they’re moving - IMO. Easier to sit on the spot and wait for them to arrive, but many articles Buck wrote mention catching a final few on really long casts as the school moved away (back). Or even situations like the Florida breaklines where there really wasn’t a casting p...

Well many my confusion is just that confusion...
When Buck talks about fish movement and fish being catchable. They can be caught moving toward shallower water? Can they also be caught moving back toward their sanctuary waters, the deep??
