Knife, Fork, an Spoon's

I've yet to master the skills (I guess you could say) to fish a spoon. Ive herd gold is the color, but does the size mater ? does it matter wether the spoon has a spinner on it ? Weedless or not ?
I know different things work for different situations but...
Alright I fish a spoon by casting-- after a wait reel-in at a steady (slow)speed with occational jerks

usually around or near a sand or oyster bar.
If your dept finder is showin a sharp decline do you think that would be a possibility ?

The only skill to master when fishing a spoon is "Chunk and Wind".

Size does matter. I have found the smaller spoons are generally better. Though the bigger spoons will run shallower.

Gold is not necessarily the color of choice.

If you're not catching redfish with a gold spoon, you're fishing where they ain't.

It's so easy, even Birddog can do it.

And what would the brand, size, and color of choice be?

Hummm

so Birddog are you sayin "silver" is the better choice (than Gold) ??
I hear ya

an I respect any responce

I think I'm gonna try a "weedless, gold as well as silver, sandbar - crack - crevis" I think some trial-n-error is the best advice to follow

Once again I want to offer a " free fishing trip" if anybody's able on weekdays ??

Stick it in your ear, TinCan.

I am definately not saying silver is the color of choice. There are many colors available. Try'em all and see what you/or the fish prefer.

A couple of years ago, I picked up a handful of weedless gold spoons that have a small spring attached to the back end. I attached a 1 to 2 inch piece of bright red bass worm to the spoon via the spring, fish love it. Caught reds at St. Marks and even a snook in Sarasota Bay using that rig.

Rocket, I know all the answers. However, he's threatened to kill me if I tell all his secrets. You know how some people are.

Still no straight answers...

Watch the RedFish cup and see what they use...
Gold a great choice! A spinner with a jig attached works good too.
Although Copper spoons work well for me!
