Ok, I'll help.  Want to catch spots on a spoon, here's how.  Advise kinda depends on where you fish.  Camp Alamisco,  just a island/peninsula west of the CR 34 boat ramp.  You will find schooling spots, and a few stripe; early is best, but have been on them at 1500hrs in August, 90 degree weather.  If you look at a topo map, will see  main channel @ 100' rapid rise to the point.  So, get a few "kastmaster spoons from wallmart, think 3 /16oz but the little guys with a skirt is cool..  Lighter spin tackle, watch for them  bust shad and go for it..  Long casts to the school and fairly aggressive jjg retrieve, high rod lift, and flutter back.   Of course, keep in touch with the spoon.  Plastic swim baits work well also, and the good old Rapella/whatever crank bait that looks likesmallershad will get them..  

Guess I'm in deep 'doo doo' now with a lot of my fishing buds, they may object to me sharing this 'top scecret' stuff, but hey, it has not been a well kept secret..  They will get over it and there are a bunch of fish out there..     

Go get 'em..
