What is the best way to catch fish with a white spook?

Question

FishGPT · Accepted Answer

Fishing with a **white spook**, such as the Zara Spook, can be a game-changer, especially when targeting **largemouth bass** or other surface-feeding fish. The key to effective use is mastering the *"walk the dog"* technique. This involves using a steady rhythm of pauses and retrieves to create a side-to-side motion that mimics an injured baitfish. Using a **medium-heavy rod** and a **high-speed reel** can enhance your control over the lure.

Timing also matters! Early mornings and late evenings are often the best times to entice fish to the surface. Be sure to *observe the water*; look for signs of feeding activity like boiling water or fish breaking the surface.

If I was going fishing early in the morning on a BCDA lake in North Alabama — where would you target and what would you fish with? Water temp has been in the lower 40s with some slight stain. I have the option of going to a lake that doesn’t have a winter drawdown or some that do.
