Spoon Fishing Tips and Tricks

Spooning a lure to catch more fish can be great fun if you know what you are doing. You want to be able to catch more fish with less effort and catch the big one that always gets away. Here are a few tips so that you can catch more fish by making your lure more attractive while it is underwater.

Almost all spoon lures attach to a single line for only one type of fishing. Try adding a red number four treble hook to a split ring and slide your spoon up your line so the ring with the treble hook is at the end of your line. Doing this will double the action and double your chances of catching the big one. So now, when you jig your lure, your lure will go back and forth on the line for those pods or schools of the game fish that you are seeking.

Fishing for bass usually entails that you are chasing schools of this tricky fish. Usually the bass are trying to hunt and pursue their food. They enjoy chasing little minnows that have a small black dot right behind the gills. So you mark your spoons with a little black dot no more that a quarter of an inch in diameter with a permanent marker. This will attract larger bass as well as other game fish and will make the lure look more realistic to the fish.

Drop spot fishing is when you are fishing for suspended fish in the lakes that are at one depth and you are usually fishing will electronics that help such as a fish finder or other fish locating devices that are available so you can get your line to a curtain depth. When you get your line at the depth you want to fish at, use a permanent marker to mark your line at the spool so you don’t have to keep on looking at the fish finder. This enables you to do more fishing and less time watching your equipment.
