  we ysed bait caster reals. While in a boat going a little faster than a trolling motor and while your going let the line out until it hits the bottom. then pull ...more up hard and let down slow. repeat until

  What we've done is tie 2 16 oz weights at the bottom of the line (Cortland line) then you tie 3 large barbless treble hooks about a foot apart from each other ...more and from the weight up the line.

  @IowaAnglers. I've only tried snagging I'm not sure if there are other ways to catch them without snagging. but I've gone twice in the past year and ...more had success on both trips.

  Nice spoonbill!! Me and a friend of mine were going to try fishing for them. Would you know how to catch them without snagging? And what if we do snag. Is there ...more a technique that works best?
