hi can someone tell me how too fish for bass useing a weedless spoon  and what kind of area you would fish it in. i am new to the club. thank you for time and help,john

Throw it into the weeds. You can also entice more bites by adding a soft plastic to it, unless you've already got the soft plactic attached versions.

There are several types of spoons and too many models from each maker to bother talking that, but it is important to match weight to line and rod. Any weedless spoon is likely to be in the "heavy" zone, so a minimum is heavy line, 50# braid or 20# mono at lightest. I sling them a few hundred feet to schooling bass using a long heavy action heavy power "broomstick" kind of rod also used for heavy C-rigs. That rod also aids in a very hard hookset. I have my fastest reel on it so I can take up line quickly.

Not long ago weeds were only in isolated weed patches, but now mats are floating free all over the lake, so a weedless lure helps to keep fishing without harvesting weeds. Whether fishing a weedless spoon over a weed patch or through floating mats, keep the spoon above the thick slop on bottom so bass can zero in on it. I fish them with 2-3 foot high hops, and reel the bait in at a steady clip. When I detect a strike I deal with it the same way as with a topwater lure, wait a few seconds before the hookset. I try really hard to wait for the line to load up, then set the hook. Keeping a razor sharp hook is very important- the sharper it is, the less power it takes to sink a normally heavy hook.

When bass stop biting in hot water I will look deep along old roadbeds and deep creek channels where some deep current should be sweeping through an otherwise "dead" lake. Hop it off bottom.
