MM is on the mark. I bought a variety of spoons and small 1/8 oz Kastmasters. I had good luck the other day 4 Crappie, 4 gills kept and 6 yellow bass kept, many released. I had good luck on a 1/8th oz chartreuse spoon and the Kastmasters. I got some tiny silver 1" spoons, but they were too light to cast well. They may work for jigging. Thanks for the tip.

Thx 4 the reply "MM", OK then its a go, I'll keep spoonin... Water temp was 57 at Delevan Lake but conditions were nasty, will give it another go, I'm not done yet, hope your fishing is also successful. Keep us posted and love your VIDS

Dano, October is official spoon month!....my guess is that you were fishing water that just wasn't cold enough. 58 is the magic number, and can be considered golden down to 52 deg. Look for suspended fish on deep weedlines in close proximity to wintering areas....see this vid shot last Nov 2nd...surface temp was 52 deg.

OK ALL, WILL SPOONS WORK IN LATE OCTOBER, NOVEMBER?? Or do I go after a different species?? I'm still using them. I was out roughing it last weekend and no luck except for a 21" snake on a 1/16th swede with a piece of crawler. Or will the gill action slow? Any advice??????

I'll Be darned, spoons work on bluegills! I tried a few of the spoons that I had rigged up today when I wasn't doing so good with the Spin Flies that I normally use. I tried a variety - all between 1/12 and 1/8 oz. One thing I noticed right off the bat was that they all casted better than spinners and grubs. Maybe the 'gills werent used to seeing them or something but I got quite a few short strikes, and certainly more hookups than than I had gotten earlier in the morning. Surpirisingly, the hot spoon of the day was a 1/12 oz. Acme Phoebe in fire tiger. Unfortunately, I hadn't switched the hooks over on the Phoebes from triples to singles yet, and I wish that I did, because the triples were really doing a number on the fishes' mouths. I'll fix that tonight.
