Well done Dan......I can't image NOT wanting to drop a spoon. They are an awesome fish catcher.

A couple bass on a spoon, one on a drop shot minnow intended for a crappie.

I didn't mean to mislead.

A bass fishermen cruised by he said that it was slow, l said man you should throw a spoon, he said no way, so I thought, I might try my own advice it worked. I went back to crappie. 

Dan, when you say drop shot minnows, were the crappie hanging towards the bottom. I have never used that for Crappie. Thanks

About middle of the pile. You have to hover over the pile, just kinda drop down through it. I use an Aberdeen hook, I like the long shank, then a slow lift back out.

He didn't  know it but I would have given him one, if he had shown some interest.

He doesn't know what he is missing for sure. I've had some cold weather trips where a spoon was the only thing I fished all day and absolutely loaded the boat. For some reason many bass fisherman are too proud to throw it. My goal when I go fishing is to put fish in the boat.......spoons are famous for doing just that. I ain't too proud.....I'd throw a vienna sausage if I thought it would catch fish......just sayin'.

Heard a lot about folks using hot dogs for catfish. Sure that those vienna's would work on cats 😁.

An old girlfriend of mine caught plenty of bass in Florida on hot dogs as well. So you may want to keep a tin or two in your tackle box😁.

A little off subject. But I go diving on occasion in a quarry in Mermett  Springs ILL. They have these massive albino catfish that will suck one hotdog after another right out of your hand. Kind of fun.
