I was probably 15 when I first started reading about Spoonplugging in one of the first yearly issues of "The Fisherman's Bible", back in the 50's. Back then I couldn't afford to buy a "set" of spoonplugs, but I gleaned every bit of bass knowledge I could from reading that article, as well as many others, written by Buck Perry, in "Fishing Facts" magazine. The knowledge is still with me today and it still amazes me that many, many fishermen haven't read his book, "Spoonplugging". I wonder, how many fishermen actually know what "structure" really is? Often times when fishing with a partner, I'll see him point to a stump and say, "There's a nice piece of structure!".

FYI: you can still buy his books and "lessons" online on his site. Priceless.

 

Good info
