"Spoon Feed Em"

The silver spoon is one of the first fishing lures ever made, and still one of the best! Made in a variety of sizes, colors, and even shapes; there is a spoon for just about every fishing situation. 

When it comes to surf fishing in south Florida in the wintertime; few lures can top the spoon. A spoon casts well into heavy winds and rough surf, and its side to side wobble on a constant retrieve drives fish crazy. Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Jacks, Sharks, Tarpon, Snook, and many more all readily strike a spoon.

Pictured are Gator Lures, and they are the spoon of choice at JUNO BAIT. They are constructed with good quality stainless, VMC treble hooks, high quality swivels, and cost about the same as lesser equivalents. 

Surf Pro Tip: Throw the heaviest size spoon your rod can handle (2oz is a great all around choice). Use braided line for maximum distance. And lastly rig with heavy mono or flurocarbon leader to get the most bites (In dirty rough water conditions, wire leader is fine).
