Spookin'

[jglassguy]

Whats everyone think about throwing the Zara Spook tonight? too early or not?
Water temp is mid 60s
Air temp is 70 15 mph. Had a cold front of sorts this week but the bite is red hot.
I am going to show Denny the ins and outs of "walkin'
the dog"
and hope to catch some fish...I just have it in my head to throw the spook later in the summer but I guess they have been receptive to top water for weeks here in Ohio.
Just wondering if any of ya all have thrown it this year, I haven't heard any convo on the boards yet..so I'm askin...

If their hitting topwaters already, they'll hit ths SPOOK

So what if they don't, you at least taught him a new technique. Man wish someone would've showed me all that stuff, I learned by trial and error. Consider yourself a lucky guy Denny 8)

Lizards

He's comming along nicely lizards... eager to learn and getting the hang of landing them with out error....
I had a buddy show me the basics but it took a few old guys like I am now to fine tune my presentation.
The things that took me the longest to master were--\
flipping and making no splash on landing,
and getting a really hard hook set every time..
Its mainly all about spending time on the water day in and day out, I'd take only one rod and one lure and forced myself to learn it or not fish..

The Spook's hot right now I would throw it.

JB, Anything over 60 degree water is good for the spook.I have a spook jr tied on every trip out. P N J

Only one way to find out

Hey
we just got back, I put on the zara spook and gave denny a puppy, each of us had a fish.
The real bite was still the bass under a moss canopy and getting them to bite the frog..Wasn't as productive as we wanted, but thats fishing :-[

coulda been skunked, one fish is better than no fish.

WEll wizkid denny spanked me with 3 and I had one
one was my fault, i had sprayed my reels with WD40 and it loosened up the drag , I never checked it till after a nice one got off..(there always bigger when the get off arent they)
I have had good and bad luck spraying WD40 on my reels , in the past everyone did it, it works for a while but i think cleaning and oiling the reel is better.
WD40 will clean up any rod n reel. I am always getting dirt on mine...

whats the best color with the spook. i know ive been bass fishing bout four times a week at night time, for about two weeks and ive been catching them on top. but also more productive with a worm during this time. but is there any technique i should use while using a spook? i ve never tried this one might be a new favorite.

[jglassguy]

I use the standard Spook, its kinda clear/white on the bottom and a strip on top that looks like baby bass.
but I also have several others in the past, I used to run a all crome one, and had a black and gold one...I imagine they are popular in any lake , it imitate a dying bait fish or shad croakin' on the surface

Yes,Im very lucky to have Jb as a fishing buddy.He has
showed me alot and has told me alot...trust I pick his
brain for info ;D.One thing that helps alot is is very
patient and very lad back...yes Im very lucky.Speaking of
learning things on your own.I wish I would had someone
as pateint as Jb to teach me about drumming..no Jb doesnt know how to play..but Im a self taught drummer speedmetal drummer of 22 yrs. So Liz I know what you mean.Before Jack,all I had was Tv and my Bassmaster
magizes.Spookin was fun like Jb said.but a front came
through and kinda messed them up.If we threw them the other night.....BBOOOOMMMMM!!!!!.Jb was kinda
enuff to let me borrow a Spook,so I will fish with it this
weekend at the lake. Goodluck to all.takecare

[jglassguy]

Thanks for the kind words Denny
the checks in the mail lmfao ;D

[profishermenkid16]

If I were to buy a spook ,it would be the new super spook jr.Of course I live where there are smallmouths and largemouths. You will catch a smallmouth once in a while on a regular spook but they will hook up alot better on the spook jr. P N J

[jglassguy]

Dont they still refer to that as the Zara Puppy?
or is there a mid size now....
