Good To Be Mindful
Pay some attention to these things. Cast out your spoons and reel them back paying attention to how they swim at certain speeds. Pay attention to how fast you are cranking. Pay attention to the environment that you are fishing in. Put them all together and match your retrieving speed to them. Now you are ready to cast out that spoon, use the straight retrieve method, and catch some fish.
Note: try varying your cranking speed if you do not get results and you know that the fishes are there.
