Thread: Report:Cranking Saturday

Awesome,

my hero.......

Nice report and pix. You in.

Thanks D

I tried trolling cranks on Lake Erling Saturday and didn't get a hit one even though I usually do pretty good. If you don't mind saying, where have the fish been located, on the channel, flats, and how deep are you having to run your cranks? The only fish we caught were off the channel drop offs in heavy cover single poling jigs. They were nice ones but it was pretty slow going. It's ok if you don't want reveal any of your eleven herbs and spices. LOL Thanks.

No problem I've been running my cranks with 40 to 50 feet of line out with the rod tips dragging the surface with arkie 350s and bandit 300s

That puts you in 11' range
The fish im catching are associated with the lip of the creek channel ... so I try to cross the creek channel rather than run with it
I have been running 1.4 to 1.7 mph make S turns and note if you get bites on the fast side or slow side to help determine the speed they want it at

Sounds like I've got to find a different place to troll on the lake where the flats are deeper. We caught them on jigs at about the same depth, 11' or so, but where we tried trolling once you crossed the channel the flats were only 9-10' deep and we would hang up if we were going more than 9' with our cranks. Great information. Thanks a million.

You're welcome hope it gets you on the fish
