Thread: Switching from trolling crankbaits to long line water temperature Kentucky Lake

I have learned a lot from the board members and have just barely scratched the surface. I would like to know at what water temperature you stop trolling crankbaits and shift to long line trolling and what temperature you shift to spider rigging. I understand it depends upon the fish but a estimated temperature would help me.

I use 60 as a general number, but will let the fish tell me what they want. I've caught fish pulling crankbaits on Green River Lake as late as Thanksgiving before. I have yet to master longlining jigs so I tend to move to spider rigging once the crank bite dies off.
