The Spoonpluggers Forum

Welcome to the board E. TN. What Brian said is true, but don't just read the book; STUDY it. Every time you go through it you will find something you missed or forgot.

Skyscraper here's one from the ABCs of Spoonplugging . I cut it out, laminated it and taped it to the inside of the Plano box in which I keep the spoonplugs. The green book gives the size and weight of each spoonplug. You could pencil it in next to the series number. After a while you will know the ...

Steve no offense taken. I agree if the reel is filled to the top you may get feet of line relative to the number on the counter, but once you get below a full reel, it not accurate. The counter is still counting revolutions of the spool in either case. Think about it. The counter is mechanical and t...

Joe for you as a beginner you might want to stay with the equipment Buck recommends. His book and home study series are geared to the rods, reels, and line he describes. Once you get some experience under you belt, or under your keel, you can start deviating from what's described in the written mate...

Jerry you're correct. The French Lake DNR survey that popped up when I did the search is in Rice County.

Ice out: 42' hole, 48' hole, 43' hole, 44' hole, 47' hole. Spring: Outside edge of weed lines working toward the inside edge in areas adjacent to the holes. Summer: Along weed lines adjacent to holes. Lake has been heavily stocked with musky(5509) since 2006 Water clarity is 1', weed growth 2'-4'.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL.

May the new year find you with perfect weather each time you go out, an activity period under way, you find yourself in a school of bass, you get one on every cast, and you share information with everyone.

Bob no snow and ice so far. Weather has been pretty mild for Dec. Eufala was way up when we crossed it on the way to TX at Thanksgiving. Sow were the Canadian and Red rivers. I imagine it's worse now. Be interesting to see what they are like on the way down for Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy N...

Happy Birthday Ted and thanks for your service sending the newsletter and info messages.
