Mike this is paul going out this weekend were you doing the same as when we got them good last year?

[steamroller69633]

do you have to use downriggers to get the spoons to the bottom or can you just adjust your speed. I usually use umbrella rigs but this year i am going to use spoons, especially in the fall

I don't have/use downriggers, but def have heard it def helps...I tie drail weight directly to line then have about 10-15ft 40-60lb flurocarbon w/ snap direct to spoon. Dont; think they'll get to bottom just adjusting speed, but I could be wrong

What speed do you pull your spoons? I've yet to catch as bass on those spoons yet...

[Don C]

Just so you know, go as slow as you can that the poles will still pump. My GPS/fishfinder took a crap and we fished yesterday without one and I go my biggest fish to date 30lbs. with out even knowing my speed.:D
