I have seen some guys using casting spoons on Stockton. Not smart enough to ask brand size etc. Sitting inside with this crummy weather I am contemplating adding to my options. Usually jigs, or plastic with slab sauce and nibbles. Thanks for suggestions.

I like using spoons in brush jigging them verticaly. size depends on the depth of water. usually a 1/4 ounce for 25 foot and under. if it is windy and the boat is blowing around you will lose a few. need to keep straight up and down
any particular brand ? ThanksQuote:

I used to use castmasters, but I checked on line and Cabela's found spoons 1/16 1/32 plain chrome for 1.25 or so, and castmasters were 6.00 anyway they work great around brush, and I will offer a suggestion change from treble hook to single hook around brush. good luck
Lure parts online has a kastmaster copy that comes with split rings. Just add your hook choice and you can make them very cheap. I like an 1/8 oz most of the time but sometimes go with a 1/4oz for deep water or ripping.
I am guessing these are what you speak of???Quote:

Thanks in advance
Crappie love vertically jigged Pepper Spoons
do you all use color or just chrome or gold?
I have had good luck using the old stand by Swedish Pimple in chrome and gold.
I only ever use them in the coldest part of the winter, fishing in big schools of shad.
If I use a spoon it's Fle Fly 1/2 oz. You can bend them and get a slower fall/flutter. I've used Binks as well, a lot of people have good luck with them but I haven't for some reason.
Some days they'd rather have a soft plastic in that same situation, so I'll either use a drop shot or 1/8 oz jig with a zoom tiny fluke. Small jigging raps can work as well, I haven't had a lot of luck with the bigger ones.
In the winter I've found just jiggling or holding the spoon dead still well get more bites than ripping it constantly.
We have tried the Binks spoons up there a good bit and just haven’t ever dialed it in with them. Hard to stick with them when we can get them to bite jigs or minnows. Any tips or tricks, time of year, etc?Quote:

I do catch a lot of bass and walleye also on the spoon and a occasional flat head.

I have better luck with them on suspended fish just outside of the structure. But the occasional walleye is a welcome fillet.
