I was curious. we've had the zebra mussels on Golden for the last 4-5 years or so, but they haven't been able to clear it up too much, at least compared to what I hear about what they can do. I think there may be just too much runoff going through it, or the predominantly muck bottom hinders them. n...

Are you referring to the pigeon river?

On a fishing trip to Canada a few years ago, we observed that the walleye wouldn't hit if we had a steel leader on.. When we'd remove them the walleye would hit right away, but the pike would keep biting off our lures. We also tried using non-wire leaders from various materials but still were gettin...

I have the first two videos - perhaps I need to revisit them too now that I have some fresh questions in my mind.

Thanks for the in-depth and thoughtful replies. The lake I am on is a 100 acre lake divided into 3 basins in northern Indiana. max depth is 33 feet. good color, manageable weeds to maybe 7 foot. pretty bland really - mostly gradual dropoffs to the deeper area. The structure is not obvious - just sma...

I guess the crux of my question is that straining the shallows can be a daunting task, especially to the point that you do it until you are sure they aren't there - In most lakes the shallows make up a majority of the lake, and you aren't just covering the bottom - you need to cover all the depths. ...

When I was reading that part of the book, It hit me that Mr. Perry mention straining the shallows several times - and said to keep going back to straining the shallows. I'm thinking that if someone says something repeatedly, they must be saying it's important... It also finally sunk in that when he'...

I was reading the green book again, for the 100th time or so, and was reading about straining the shallows and it got me thinking.. In some lakes with gradual drop offs, this could cover a real large area. I was curious how other spoonpluggers go about doing this - so, How do you other spoonpluggers...

Being a beginner at spoonplugging, this sounds like a good way to get the tools I need.. I'd be interesting in the package as well.. or whatever no one else wanted!
