Wow, thanks for all the great info. I will post an update when I get back. I might bring my flyrod. I am looking for some large 3-4" poppers that weigh between 1-2oz. It might be hard in this part of the country...maybe some BIG bass poppers. I have also seen references on a lure called a "Ranger". I have seen a picture of it and is look similar to a spoon.

Thanks again.
