Summer Spooning Tips
Most anglers think of Fall or Winter when they think of fishing spoons in deep water but Summer can be prime time as well. On a recent trip Tim and Matt caught over 40 fish on a BladeRunner Spoon during tough conditions!
In this video they talk about why spooning works so well in summer and then explain each of their setups. Tim prefers a 7' rod coupled with fluorocarbon while Matt prefers a 7'8" rod with braided line.
If you find yourself on the water during the dog days of summer and you can't find fish anywhere but out deep, the spoon is probably your best option. Don't be afraid to tie it on and start jigging through those deep water fish, you might just experience the best summer fishing you've ever had!
