Me and Opti-Jr had our first success with the spades today. What a riot! We kept 5 for dinner although we could have kept many more. Gotta make sure Jr has plenty to catch in the future!

Your report leaves me envious and it will make my life a bit tough! I’m really gonna hear about your post. Spades are some of Girldawg’s favorite fish to catch and she hasn’t caught one yet this year! [:0] Thanks a bunch!

How deep did you guys find them, heard they have been pretty thick around 60ft.
Get out There!
Like CoopeRiverman I need to get out and give this a try. Dumb question- What area?
Too Fish or not Too Fish
That be the question!

We were in approx 50 ft. All the reefs in that depth of water should hold them. Give it a try, take a kid, and don’t keep too many!

optiker - what size/brand (since every brand has their own gap) circles do you find to be the best for your spades? I am headed to nearshore this wednesday, may be able to scare some up.
I used Owner MUTU (I think) at least thats what they looked like, in red, at 1/0 size

They worked well. I think you could use any small circle and have as much success. Mine happened to be really sharp!
