[QUOTE="shep07, post: 69767, member: 870"] Last year was my first time spearing had never done it before but went all out and bought a bunch of decoys and a spear it turned out to be a blast. I watched a lot of youtube videos and learned a lot from them. Don't be scared to try different things more aggressive jigging of the decoy seamed to have better success for me but you have to change depending on what mood the fish are in. I would change out my decoy to a different color every 20 minutes if i wasn't seeing anything. Some decoys have adjustable metal fins on the tails so you can change the direction the decoy swims and how big of a circle it will travel. You can hang your decoy at a lot of different heights off of the bottom just make sure you aren't hitting bottom cause you will stir up the mud and make the water cloudy. Biggest thing is don't get discouraged and always be willing to try something different. Good luck [/QUOTE]
