Re: New Spoonplugger

Welcome aboard Joe. I too am a resent subscriber to this site. I Spoonplugged years ago, but never became experienced, like many of the others on this site. I am giving it a serious try this time out and have already been rewarded with some great fish and a feeling of finally getting it. Sounds like...

Re: Fish where you have the best chance to catch a fish!

Excellent article. I'm always amazed, and disappointed, by how much I forget even after extensive study. Sad.

Thanks for posting.

Dennis

P.S. I tried to order the Steury Tri Hull Housboat on the last page and couldn't get ahold of anyone. Weird.

Re: How to strain the shallows...

Douglas, Unfortunately, I did not stop and cast after the LMBass. I was in <4 fow and figured it was lately a "straggler". I have much to learn, so please bear with me. I truly appreciate the guidance. On my pattern development post you added that the moral the story was "speed and de...

Pattern Development

I went out to Tishigan Lake in Racine Co, WI today. Tichigan is a stained water lake with a primary breakline at about 8-10' depending on where you are on the lake. There are weeds out to about 4' and scattered weeds deeper in various areas. I started my fishing as instructed. I began by straining t...

After re-reading the green book and the home study course a few times, I decided to start as instructed and look for lakes with good water color. Thankfully, the Wisconsin DNR website actually has a water q...

I used to fish a good amount a dozen or more years ago and gave spoonplugging a try back then (still had one of Buck's rods, the home study course, the green book, and some vhs tapes by Don Dickson). Well life got in the ...

Re: How to strain the shallows...

Kraig and others, My name is Dennis Davidson and I am new to Spoonplugging. I gave it a shot 15 years ago, but was unable to put in the effort necessary. I have more time an Wisconsin is now allows trolling in far more lakes. Anyway, I discovered a lake near my home, Tishigan Lake in Racine County, ...
