Dang, don't tell me they are back on the 6.5" spoon. It was a hot spoon for me about 4 weeks ago but haven't caught one on it since. I don't even have one rigged up right now. I have 6 rods rigged with smalller spoons, now I'm going to have to rig a 7th with the 6.5"...LOL
Did your buddy mention what depth? That seems to be the biggest factor for me, figuring out what depth to look week to week. Once I figure that out I usually can get them to eat someting.
