The Spoonpluggers Forum

Part of the reason I have to catch nice fish is so when I hold them up you can't see that I ain't tv pretty. John

Me an Scott 99 look a little alike. WTH............... John

Jim, Your post is similar to some others trying to get into spoonplugging and trying to go the electric route. I respect the effort you are putting into this place and you are catching a few fish. Short bottom line answer to your questions. You are limiting yourself by fishing that particular lake b...

Ok, your going to love this one. During our Indiana outing, I went to a new lake I never knew how to get on. It was so good, I fished it for 5 straight days. While fishing there, I made friends with one of the locals that had lived in this trailer park for 30 years. Anyways, here comes another guy o...

Google earth shows good water color. Sounds like you need to stay in the channel when going to the upper end away from the dam because they say that there are a lot of stumps outside the channel. Check all the channel swings where they come off the bank and swing to the other side where it creates a...

One of the best ones yet. Good stuff. John

I was told that it is unlikely that we could purchase this quality of ointment over the counter. If you have a friend who is a dentist,you might be able to get some, other than that, forget it. John

I could not get in touch with the guy who got this stuff for me so I called Chase who was a dentist. He said that there are several kinds of it. It is called a topical anesthetic and he is not sure if the stuff that I have can be bought over the counter. I left a message to the guy who got it for me...

I'll call him and find out what it is and get back to you. John

Last year I had a student who was a dentist. He knows that I usually get a couple of hooks in my hands per year and the last one was a bad one and cost me more than I can afford to do very often. Before he left, he told me he was going to send me this tube of numbing gel that they use for my next mi...

Steve and Brian cover all the answers you were looking for. Map it first, then run the lures. Your final answers will only come by running the lures. The ones you picked might not be the best ones. Just pick some more spots and do the same. Weather and water conditions will dictate the fish movement...

Its my friend too when it is called for. So is a jig, when it's called for, I have lots of friends. Even though they all have different moms and dads, they all ended up having the same names, tools. Caught my fourth six pounder of the season yesterday. Caught it with another friend(tool). John

Bink, I pulled my ranger with a jeep with a 6 cyl and it did just ok . Didn't realize how just ok till I got a taho with a 5.3. What a diff. Just saying. John

Thanks Jim, Some people think I'm just an arrogant ass hole. Sometimes their right but their is a difference between confidence and being a pr@#$. John

Last year I noticed a speed boat doing a lot of trolling. He is out there at this very moment, making a lot of passes where he has no chance of catching a fish. The amount of effort he is putting in is by far more than a lot of spoonpluggers I know that never fish. I think I'll put the boat in and h...
