alahusker give a very good explanation on spoon fishing. My technique is a little different, I use some 12 oz hand poured spoons, look for the bait balls in the creeks, points etc and drop to desired debth. Jig up and down keeping in contact with spoon. At times I will power reel, if fish are near bottom, drop to bottom, reel up very fast and drop back to bottom keeping contact with spoon. Usually the hit on the drop but the spoon coming up quickly will get their attention. one additional trick, use a swivel to reduce line twist, also when you attach spoon to the snap, add a smaller treble hook which at times will increase your hook up rate.

I use a 1/2 oz flutter type spoon to target suspended fish in deep water. cast, let fall and twitch occasionally to mimic dying shad.
