I was throwing a golden spoon today. Is there a certain way to fish it?

Sometimes they just don't eat

I would imagine not many bites today. The super moon last night was ridiculous. Looked like there was street lights on everywhere.

Spoons work great. If there is a lot of grass go with a 1/4 or 1/8 oz spoon. Keep rod tip high and reel as it hits the water. I hear gold spoon all the time. While I do fish it, I catch more on silver spoons. When its murky go with a black spoon. Chatter baits with chartreuse plastic work great. In line spinners. If your spooking fish or they are sluggish o go with a weedless/weightless 6" fluke. In line spinners work. Waker baits work well. Oh and hollow frogs or crawfish fished weedless.

We catch lots of shallow reds on topwaters. Depends on their mood. Alot of the same types of topwaters you would catch bass on will catch redfish: buzzbaits, chatterbaits, spooks, rubber frogs.

This is the number 1 reason for reds refusing your baits. I'm asked all the time about this bait or that bait, they'll eat a bare jig head sometimes, but are a different animal after a full moon

I thought for sure the bass weren't going to bite today because of that, but I actually caught a few.
