Caviar anyone?

If you are looking for something different, then I'd strongly suggest giving spoonbill fishing a try. Spoonbill? Yep, you're reading it right. Without a doubt the fastest growing fishing fun in the Midwest is spoonbilling.
These odd looking creatures grow to mammoth weights and will give the angler all he wants when trying to pull one of these monsters from the bottom.
Spoonbill (or paddlefish) is not a member of the catfish family like most think but closer relative to the mighty sturgeon. Catching them is very different from most species of bottom feeders (such as catfish). Feeding on primarily plankton, they cant be caught traditionally with baits like shad, worms, liver, etc. so they have to be snagged.
Armed with heavy tackle, the angler stands near the back of the boat dragging the heavy sinker and barbless treble hook across the bottom using a sweeping action, thus snagging the fish.
Call it odd, unusual, or even primitive but you'll certainly call it exciting when you land your first one.
Using our new camo G3 1860 CC, the field staff crew of Steve Matt, Mike Englemeyer, and myself experienced our first spoonbill snag recently on Grand Lake near Grove OK and were we pleasantly suprised at how fun this was and how big these monsters of deep could be.
Guide Joel Buss of Joels Fishing Guide Service furnished his services and immediately had us on fish. Young in age but well beyond his years, Joel is very diverse and offers some great angling on Grand Lake in OK and Beaver Lake in AR.
Check out his website at www.beaverlakeguideservice.com and give this young man a call to book a trip and experience this great adventure for yourself.
Watch for this action on the new G3 Sportsman this summer on FSN Midwest.
