    Default Crankin' Larto 6-1-16


    Went to Larto today. This was my first attempt at pulling crankbaits. Thru some trial and error, I finally got it dialed in. I pulled Bandit 200's and Slab Hammers from 6 poles at 1.4 to 1.6 mph, 11 feet deep in 13-14 fow. Chart/sparkle, Chart/blue splatterback and Awesome Pink ruled the day. Finished with 26 fish. Thanks for all the info over at the Cranking 101 thread on the MS board. Couldn't have done it w/o yall. And now the pics. Enjoy.

    Congrats on a good mess. Looks like they inhaled them.

    Yes they were. Made a real mess of the boat and the ice chest. But I'll take it any day.

    Great catch. Congratulations! Just one more reason I may have to check out this "crankin" stuff. Probably put of my league. LOL!

    Tell me about it brother. Six line counting reels, six rods, spools of line, two boxes of cranks.... and I'm just getting started. I had most of the rod holders laying around. I got lucky and scored a good deal on fleabay for the trolling plate. But heck, I'm going buy more cranks today.

    Careful Pastor, you might get hooked. Lol! It's not out of your league. As you can see from my rig, its nothing fancy. However, I believe you do need the line counting reels. It helped me dial in the depth yesterday. I started research/buying equipment back in February and it all came together yesterday.
