How many guys on here catch fish at DH or C-Land on jigging spoons? If so, what months do you have your best luck?
When I set out to do it for some reason I usually fail. However I have had some good success sporadically when chasing fish in open water. I keep one tied on for when they are schooling or in the jumps. After the jump dies down and the pod or pods of shad go down pulling the fish throw that spoon under where you were just catching fish on top or your shallow water column you were in. Bingo, they will usually whack it and I mean hit them hard to. Let it fall and rip it up aggressively and hang on, it can be bone jarring strikes or just a simple little tick on the line. They usually hit it on the fall after ripping it up.

I did this a few yeas Ago at Dale and was catching Smallmouth, largeheads and Magnum Spots doing this, too much fun.
