The Spoonpluggers Forum

Thank you

Brian - thanks for the input. If you were approaching this for the first time, how would you fish it? The basics say start in the shallows, but the shallows are nowhere near the contact point. It appears too deep to set up in 10' of water, but Is casting the correct way to check this area?

I really like seeing these posts (I often go back to the old "Lake of the Month") threads. I find it very helpful to try and pick out the best spots and compare my results to other more experienced spoonpluggers. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video, Jim. All your effort is very much appreciated

Perfect size blues, Jim! Great pictures and look yummy!

John, I seem to remember the tournaments banning trolling when Buck caught all the big fish. I imagine that if I came up with an electronic box that allowed me to catch more and bigger fish than the tournament boys, they would change their rules in a heartbeat. The technology is going that way, and ...

Thanks, Brian

I ordered a Ranger Tournament Series rubber net. Made in USA, lifetime warranty on everything but the rubber, which is replaceable. $59.99 and free shipping from Scheels.

No, not thoughts about Annette I'm looking to replace my cheapo net with something suitable for solo fishing from a 14' boat. Buck gives some limited info but I would like your thoughts. Since I'm by myself 99% of the time I don't think the handle needs to be any longer than necessary to tuck under ...
