The Spoonpluggers Forum

A LOT of people, including myself, when they start putting Spoonplugging into their fishing the first few seasons are spent trolling. Of course it's never JUST trolling. You're mapping with lures and learning so much about the lakes you used to fish that you are actually pretty busy. The problem (no...

Thanks Jim. Great article.

You fighting that big Sturgeon really cracks me up.

There I nothing like catching a few fish to re-enforce what you read. Catching fish does become distracting sometimes when you're trying to practice something.

Congrats and keep it up
Morning

Depending on the time of year the plan should be to start at the base of the weedline then work out. While you and I can't see the most subtle changes the fish do. A number of very good lakes I fish are little more than what you describe but don't have the depth yours does. If there isn't what you c...

Another thing to consider when straining the shallows (and this is in the book..) Start as shallow as your comfortable with. Go some distance, then change to the next lure. Keep going but just do the next section at the next depth. Work around until you've gone as deep as you can or you find a struc...

Yes, you're right. I'll get back to you next week.

You should be good.

Jim, I like the running banter. I think it's particularly interesting how tired you appear at about #46. When you say 55 it looks like you're ready for a nap. I'm not making fun we had about 70 and all I wanted to due was anything else. But we both said 100 for the day and I wasn't quitting. I kept ...

Jim,

I have to tell you that your little videos are better than most of the professional Fishing shows out there. Thank you for sharing.

With everything being a smart device/wireless, I have YouTube on my plasma. At 65" the video looks very good. The only way you could make it better is a HiDef camera and that's not nessacary.

I have my system worked out but I haven't been able to use it.

Jim, These are some really great videos. They show very well on my big TV. One of the more interesting things on this video was your speed on the cast. Did you try pausing or jerking? Was going to give you hard time - didn't think they let boats on your pond... But this is too good. Your edits are s...

I doubt too many people have the electronics I have. I'm just lucky and bought a piece or two at a time. And I can say with all my heart that Douglas and John are correct. Last year I made myself do the straight line passes. I learned so much that just using electronics would never have told me. Now...

Jim, Hearing you and Gino banter brought me back to to when my grandparents and great grandparents were alive and never a kind word spoken between them. Yelling, swearing, etc...most of the time. It was very comforting for me. As long as you're giving Gino the business, maybe you should get some too...

That is amazing. It's all I can do to not curse.... It'll be a rare day when this again.
