I love fishing spooks and seeing that wake come up behind the plug. Last night we where into fish at dusk with spooks and pencils, schoolies and blues mostly, but as soon as it got dark the fishing slowed. I tried both needles and swimmers. It was bright so I decided to try a olive and white spook that I built. I slowly dragged it across the top twitching it. The first fish I lost, the second fish was 47" and around 35#s. The first fish took more line and felt bigger. After a couple of hours we had several keepers all released. Has anybody had luck with spooks at night? Maybe it was the distance or maybe the wake, but I'll be back tonight.
