The Spoonpluggers Forum

Welcome to the site FSelton, A friend moved about two hours from Pomme and because of this I fished the lake on a couple occasions with him. I enjoyed the my limited time on the water but he will soon be moving out of the state, so it is unlikely I will be back in this area. I was curious if I offer...

Steve,

Happy Birthday and thanks for contributing to the site all of these years!

Nicely written, Chase!

Kevin, You received great guidance in the responses previously offered. I would like to add that when on the water presenting lures on the features, you need to keep your trolling passes straight while working deeper on the structural features. The straight line passes will aid in your interpretatio...

Bill, I find the lake to be interesting from a structural perspective and would love to fish this lake. Water color is obviously a concern but some stable weather and a solid fish population should allow for a good catch. Can you provided us with specifics regarding your time on the water? What spec...

John,

Is the Buck Rod a pistol grip?

Hello Jim! I do believe the heavier pound test would sink faster, allowing the need for less line to run the lures on a WALK. The ability to walk the lure is the key. If you are able to immediately walk, short line lengths will be required to present the lures. If you are forced to run free, then ad...

John, my thoughts regarding your original post is as follows: Based on the fact that you felt compelled to ask Buck about your fishing for the day is an indication that you were not satisfied with your results for the day. Everyone reading this post should consider that this discussion is lake speci...

The simplest solution is to simply GOLF on the days forecasting rain.

No rice and bread bag worries at all.

Lurker 2, You should expect both species to use a channel for their seasonal movements into their spawning areas. Once you have identified which coves or areas offer spawning preferences by each species, I would concentrate your efforts there. These areas should be productive season after season. Th...

Gary is correct in stating that you need to let the lures and fish tell you if this is a productive area. My interpretation of THIS fishing situation posed is as follows: The question indicated that these cuts flow from the channel toward the shallows. If the cut actually goes to 8 to 10 feet or les...

Steve, The feeder coves I described on Lake Norfork were similar to Buck’s teaching (lake within the lake). They are large in nature, on occasion have color due to run off and has most of the dirt (sand and clay) in a reservoir that is rock dominate. The bass located in these areas were mainly LM an...

Hello Steve, Your passion regarding this subject matter is very evident. I would like to offer thoughts from a universal stand point based on my interpretation of Buck’s teaching, along with sharing an actual experience fishing a Highland Reservoir in Arkansas. I view your situation similar to what ...

THIS IS GREAT STUFF. Having the opportunity to view these structures and the surrounding above water terrain should sharpen our interpretation through above water observation. Thanks for sharing!

Bink, Attempting to locate transducers for older flasher units is quiet difficult. I decided to purchase a couple of real time dash mounts from the hummingbird organization and simply mounted the component into the shell of the older flasher, once I gutted out the internal components and cut an open...
