Every serious fisherman should read this book; it's not just for muskie or bass fishing. The concepts are generally applicable, and if you're intent on becoming a better fisherman, it's more than worth the effort, time, and money.
The term "spoonplugging" has at least dual meanings: trivially, it means "fishing with a spoonplug", which is a specific brass spoon-type bait; more broadly, it describes the approach to fishing imparted by Buck Perry, which stresses understanding fish movements and behavior and how they relate to lake contours, structure and cover. A large component of BP's methodology involves discerning the lake structure by trolling with spoonplugs, but the more important part is understanding the fish and how to catch them.
So, I advise you get the book and read it. What else do you have to do for the next 4 months? [smilie=2c.gif] [smilie=brickwall.gif]
