The Spoonpluggers Forum

A fisherman once asked Mr. Perry why(in Florida) are we not catching bass bigger than 12 lbs? Mr.Perry's answer was(as he was holding up an 800 spoonplug) that this 800 spoonplug is not a mouthfull to a large bass. So......... if an 800 is not a mouthfull to a 12 lb bass, what is not a mouthfull to ...

Many moons ago I would get frustrated with the lack of the really big bass catches. The old pics in the green book would just make my blood boil. Not mad at those who made those great catches but mad at myself. And the worst thing is not knowing why. This basicly boiled down to I did not know enough...

Check out this October sunset..... It's as peacefull as it looks. John

Hi David, Sounds like you are having some fun out there. Be carefull, you might not want to come back home. By the way, you are a good jig fisherman. Did I tell you that the last time that we fished? Dont get a swelled head, I can still put it on you any time I want:).......... John

The old tohatsu 2 strokes were junk. The new ones are sweet with the fuel injection and oil injection. The 2 stroke yamaha is a very good motor. All the new 4 strokes are good, quiet and great on gas but heavier. I can attain any rpm with no hesitation , no vibration at any rpm .......... And it sta...

I have a 50 hp nissan 2 stroke. Fuel injection and oil injection. It is not a honda but I still like it. Very good on fuel as good as a 4 stroke. Our club members have bought several of the 9.8 four strokes and one fellow has an 18 4 stroke nissan. No problems with any of them. Tahatsu makes all of ...

Hi Geno, I have your buddies ready to ship. I have a student tomorrow and might not get them in the mail till Monday. Don't take this wrong but it sounds like you have done a lot of casting over the years. Someone has mislead the general public to believe that casting is the way to go to catch the m...

Charlie, You are not really mapping when you are counting down a lure. You are gaining information on the depth of the water. Mapping is done by your interpretation of bottom conditions. Aids are lures and the depth meter. Dont try to be so precise on everything. You will drive yourself nuts. Just g...

Bink, I will take mine to my grave..... Never fished out of a better boat for all around fishing. Works well on the small lakes and the big ones. Nothing beats a 14 ft big jon by lowe on the small lakes but you wouldnt want to go out on lake erie in one. Nothing is perfect and everyone has their ide...

Whopper....... Got back yesterday from erie. Came back early because of tornado's and 11 to 13 foot waves. I dont want none of that so we flew the coop... Things were a bit different this time. Best day was 20 smallmouth. Biggest for me was one a little over 5 3/4..........Before we went, it was loo...

Thanks guys for your support and jealousy. It is all apreciated. Maybe some day we could make an outing for everyone to attend on the islands. You would not want to be out there in the summer. It is a party animal place in the summer. Not for us old guys. 12 hour days on the water and no sleep dont ...
