Bunker Spoons

Does anyone troll bunker spoons any more? The seem to be very difficult to find, and when you find them they run $35 plus per. Is this a method of fishing that's going out of style? Also, does anyone know where to pick up larger bunker spoons for reasonable change?

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I'm not sure if MikeCC has them or not. Shoot him an e-mail and ask. If he does, he'll ship them out to ya. If not, Monahan Marine in Weymouth has them in various sizes.

Yes oh yes. Out of style. Don't waste your time . One of my fav ways to fish for big girls. I make myself. I can make you a few if you want or I can get you an address for you to buy at reasonable price. Send me a PM and I will spill the beans. Paul

Mike showed me a couple of "proto types" last weekend. They looked real nice. Hopefully be available in the coming weeks......

No your not, IMHO way off base, which is one of the reason I refuse to drag wire on my boat.

I guess I missed the point. What's wrong with wire line trolling?

If you don't like wire than don't bother with bunker spoons. Always seems like fun to me. I like it and it works. A little more to it than just draggin wire. To each his own. paul
