The Spoonpluggers Forum

Went to Navy Pier (Chicago) for the first time, as I have seen many reports on the perch fishing at Navy Pier. Caught perch on nearly every cast. Had to sort thru several smaller fish to get some eaters. Fried them up for dinner... some of the best fish I ever had! Going back again Friday! https://w...

Awesome! Keep it up! Casey has been fishing with me since he was 5, now he is 13. I couldn't be any happier! When not fishing, he is watching YouTube videos about fishing. I'm a bit "old school', and he has even taught me some things now. Hope your son catches the fishing "bug' too! BUT, a...

Don mentioned this in one of his videos recently. Buck never held them out to make them look bigger.
I just saw this pic on Facebook. I think this shot is going a little overboard! This is a fairly well known angler, but pics like this, I think you loose a little credibility.

I searched a few years ago for a website that shows fronts and forecasts for them. This is the only good site I found:

I would definitely crap in my pants at 10:07!

Looks like a flatlander 1 or 2. Not very deep (less than 25ft?) No major feeder creeks to speak of.
Probably has very good water color. I'd mostly work the original channel breakline, spending a lot of time on any sharp turns I come across.

Good Luck! Let us know how you did!

A friend sent me this. Always nice to read an article where they talk about Buck...

Hi Mike.. Welcome to the forum! I certainly remember you, and all the stories/adventures you had. Like the boy scouts throwing rocks at you!, the missing bearing buddy on your trailer that you thought i took. All good memories! Glad you found the forum. Not too many of the original club members left...

Thanks for the replies Harold, Brian and Garry. I would pick one of the larger feeder arms towards the headwaters and try to just stay there. If it has a lot of standing trees, that would indicate it was built in more recent times. I checked, and yes, it was built in the early 80's. Texas is on my b...

Hi, I'm Lake Ray Roberts. I live a bit north of Dallas Texas. I am 30,000 acres. The biggest bass pulled out of me has been 15lbs. It's been many years since I had a spoonplugger fish me. What kind of reservoir am I? How and where would you spend your time fishing me? You can look at me in more deta...

Happy Bday... welcome to "club 53"!!

It's like this here every year...

I recall hearing Buck make the comment that he found at least (1) white sandy water color in every state. That may have been true years ago, but doubtful now, especially in the great lakes area. I'm guessing that whitewater lake my have been white sandy years ago. Whichever the lake was, i'm sure it...

For those of you that do not know, I am uploading a Buck Perry series (5 parts total).
Here is part 2, weather/water.
