Goose, don't ever think because a spoon has a thin profile the fish don't see it, the do !

I may add that we use spoons in the middle of the night very effectively, an old wives tale about needing the " flash". If that were the case why would people use dark lures at night, seems like the same to me.

Thanks again. The only spoon that I have any experience with is the Kastmaster - and that was MANY years ago when I lived in Miami and used them fishing off the seawalls around Biscayne Bay.
