Mr_Scrogg Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Spoonplugging... Great read so far. Received it for Christmas. Ive read 50-60 pages, and Ive learned more in that time, than I have in all my life, about the "why's". 2 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 8, 2015 Super User Posted January 8, 2015 Buck Perry's teachings should be mandatory reading. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 I read that back in the late 70's and have always admired Mr. Perry and his teachings. Best gift to give to any young fisherman today. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 Spoonplugging... Great read so far. Received it for Christmas. Ive read 50-60 pages, and Ive learned more in that time, than I have in all my life, about the "why's". I was just thinking that there is another thread that is active right now where they are having a discussion about some of Mr. Perry's theory. Might be interesting for you since you are well into the book. Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 Regardless of what your thoughts or fishing philosophy might be, Buck's book (Spoonplugging) is one of those that everyone should read at some point. In a different thread, Roger just mentioned another, that being Jason Lucas' book (Lucas On Bass). A few others I would have to add to everyone's list are Robert Page Lincoln's book (Black Bass Fishing), the Bill Murphy/Paul Prorok book (In Pursuit of Giant Bass), and Dr, Keith Jones' book (Knowing Bass). But first take your time with "Spoonplugging". There's a lot to digest in there -T9 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 I also have Bill Murphys You are in good shape then. If you liked Bill's book, you'll also like Spoonplugging. The similarity and overlapping concepts between the two might surprise you, but there's good reason for that -T9 Quote
Don't Tell The Wife Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Looks like I will be getting some new reading material. Quote
Dypsis Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I am almost done with Bass Wisdom and In Pursuit of Giant Bass should hopefully be waiting for me at home after work today. It looks like Spoonplugging will be next! Quote
Vrybusy Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I'll have to check a few of these out. Thanks for the info! Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 I read that back in the late 70's and have always admired Mr. Perry and his teachings. Best gift to give to any young fisherman today. I did too. I had a complete set of spoonplugs in each size in two different colors. That concept allowed you to find bottom & learn depths without a graph. Occasionally I even caught a few fish using them. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 9, 2015 Super User Posted January 9, 2015 Baitmonkey strikes again ... placed my order. Sounds like some good winter reading. Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Is this book only about trolling? Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 10, 2015 Super User Posted January 10, 2015 Is this book only about trolling? No. It's about fish and the habitat they live in. What structure REALLY is. How to approach finding and catching fish (all species) without the use of a graph or map. Trolling is an integral part of the teachings, but is not the most significant learning tool which Mr. Perry's teachings provide. Quote
