The Spoonpluggers Forum

Welcome to the board Joe. You've come to the right place. While you wait for your Spoonplugs, the Rapala DT series is used by many on this board. They are designated DT 4, DT 6, etc. to indicate the running depth. Do a search on the board for "Rapala" and read what people have posted about...

Excellent! These two videos are not the usual "we're having fun fishing" videos. It's more instructional. Jim asks, and John answers, germane What, When, Why, Where, and How questions. There is also comic relief at several places in the videos. Notice the weather conditions, even though Jo...

Welcome to the board Dave. Jim probably filled you in on the IL Spoonplugger Club. Meeting is this Thursday, 7:15, Elk Grove Village Library.

Good report Jim. Thanks. The technology has come a long way since Buck did his studies and made his observations, but nothing he discovered has changed; only made it easier for us. The section in Presentation of Lures, i.e. a hypothetical trip on a new lake, encapsulates it all.

Dennis,
Good choice. I've had a Crestliner since 2004. Top notch. Lifetime warrantee for original owner, 20 years for second owner.

Bob if that lake is down 22', the deepest holes, according to Navionics, only have about 16' in 'em and you can almost walk out to 'em. To answer your question "Tell me where to fish?": Eufala!! That looks like the situation we faced at Tawakoni one year; couldn't get the boat in the water...

Dave I think everyone on the water should have some knowledge of navigation and definitely know the rules of the road. I had sixteen weeks of navigation training in the USN. Everything... dead reckoning. set and drift, coastal piloting, celestial navigation, etc. One of my favorites. Our text was Du...

Dave the CG Auxiliary course is excellent; I took it when I was in high school. Of course that was back in the days of square riggers and galleys An abridged version of Chapman's book was given as part of the class.
