Spooning with Crawler chunks

Yesterday I used three types and sizes /Weights and caught on all three : Started with the Hus Spoon 1/12 oz. caught a Pickerel and Bass right away and very small hen Gills. Switched to a 1/8th oz. Kastmaster caught more Gills and finally started hitting bigger males .Thirdly I tried a 1/6th (I guess) 'Super Duper ' and lost a nice fish after some nice deeper swimming and then dropped a male at boat side . I put on a 1/8th Lil'Cleo and got cut off by what must've been a Pickerel .
The small hens were up in the column The Pickerel and Bass were a count down of 10 and 5' respectively the Male Gills were suspended deeper down around 5 or more feet. I didn't have a depthfinder rowing around in a 10 ' boat yesterday but I know from experience I was fishing in 10' depths to 20' . The end of September always has fish in this NW corner in pockets and outside the dead weed tops showing on the surface .

Comment by John Sheehan on September 30, 2015 at 1:05pm: Great fish suspending technique Carl . I like the idea that these small spoons can fit in a small mouth and appear vulnerable like a small baitfish (spoon) attacking a worm piece . Predator notices small baitfish feeding and says" i'll eat both" .

Comment by carl hendrix on September 30, 2015 at 12:45pm: way to go John;; I havent tried using;; hard baits yet for gills; never thought of it!!

Comment by John Sheehan on September 30, 2015 at 8:24am: Prefer to do it from a boat Dick ,seems to work best .Give me Jigs when fishing from shore .

Slip, the small hens were up in the column The Pickerel and Bass were a count down of 10 and 5' respectively the Male Gills were suspended deeper down around 5 or more feet.
