Actually, on the days I fished with Joe, I did start with spinnerbaits and
was catching some fish as was Joe, but when the breezes died off the
spinnerbait bite slowed also. I can normally do OK in calm water if I use
smaller spinnerbaits, such as 1/4oz. or even better, 1/8 oz., but I had
nothing smaller than 3/8 oz. with me at that time. We at SW no longer offer
either the 1/4 or 1/8 sizes, and instead have introduced the tremendously
successful new size of 3/16 oz., which is a cross between the two. That will
be a legend.

Bob, I know you're a spinnerbait expert, but everything I have read about
your personal fishing has you using some type of soft plastic. Is this
because on the days you fished with Joe & Charles, the water was flat
calm?
Do you ever throw a spinnerbait on calm water or does it have to have at
least a few waves before you throw one? I also agree with you, Gene Larew
makes some excellent lures, and I love their Green Pumpkin/Orange Craws.
