Sounds good Doug,....I will be posting daily images of the "spoon of the day" and I'll be keeping everyone posted on whats working, and where.

Nice, went out yesterday, caught a few on spoons, I'll get it down soon!

Bill, Thanks for the invite. Am anxious to try for those big local gills again with the bait you suggested. Any help with colors would be much appreciated. Bob

Bob, start with chrome or any of the taped color variations....hammered and brass models work well in cloudy conditions

Ya'll keep the line wet and the hook sharp........

Bill my trebles on the12th oz. Kastmasters are getting beat up.Do you know where I can get single hooks the right size for them?
The Swedish Pimple,Hildebrandts,Blue Fox and Kastmasters did great last night on my home lake .Blue Gill,P.Seeds,Yellow and White Perch,Bass,Crappie all took the worm piece tipped spoons.They worked real good casting to a fallen treetop as well as to shady areas under overhanging trees. Slow trolling with the oars 8-10 ' worked great too!...glass calm.. nothin' feeding on surface...the spoons took it to them!
Thanks for you fishin' help!I fully expect to read a detailed article written by you in In Fisherman someday soon!

A little off topic but I ghad a great day in April catchin'Pickerel on spoons.The spoons took the most Picks but trolling Crankbaits took the two biggest:20" and 22"

I have 2 new places to try tommorrow for rumored giant gills. Ain't life grand?!? If I can step out of my comfort zone I'll give the spoons a try. Thanks!

I used spoons for a while yesterday. I caught both bluegill and redear sunfish on them.

I have caught gills on swedish pimples in the past....and small cast masters......been awhile though........fun for sure!....I did catch a gillzilla many years ago on a 4" red and whitespoon( daredevil) while casting for northerns.......lol!

I just picked up a bunch of small Swedish Pimples last week on closeout at the Kearney Cabela's and now I see this spoon chucker thing in my email. Coincidence or fate?

Wow! This group is taking off like wildfire!

Well first off, I'd like to thank everyone for joining this group....because if you've haven't experienced the madness a spoon can bring to bluegill fishing, your in for a real treat!

My fishing partner and I explored Lake Delavan today in Southeastern Wisconsin.....surface temps were in the mid 70's and most of the bluegill had finished spawning and were positioned down the hill in 15-25 ft.

Todays productive spoons were the 1/12 oz Acme Kastmaster, and the 1/16 oz Blue Fox rattlin' flash spoon in the rainbow trout pattern....normally when we find fish in this depth of water, they typically suspend somewhere within the water column.....today, the fish were pinned to within a foot of the bottom yet eagerly accepted our offerings when the spoons were dragged along the lake floor. We tipped live today using 2 waxworms....on more than one occasion, large Northerns stole our hooked gills today.....I've added a pic of the simple rigging,....be sure and use black barrel swivels and snaps when building this rig....brass tackle will draw ghost hits from juvenile gills.

please tell me where to get some good spoons because i can't find them on the internet

Josh, I Googled Swedish Pimple and got their website immediately. I ordered them right from that website. Very Very Easy! Mod, you said you dragged the baits along the bottom. Do you use a lifting "hopping" motion with the spoons or simply drag them on the bottom or a combination of both actions? Also, can they be productive when the fish are suspended in very deep water like 50 feet and holding at 18-25 feet? If so, do you just let it float along as you wind drift or back troll or do you add lifting motion to it as you slide along? Sincerely, Bob
