Thread: Best NC lakes to troll cranks?

I go through the pics from the different lakes on here to see if any white
crappie in pics. That is how I picked high rock as my closest lake with white crappie.

You can catch the blacks on crank baits. Use small lures and slow down to .5 to .7 MPH. I push small crank baits up front using 2 OZ trolling weights. These weights are molded on a 12 inch wire with swivel.

I agree with monk he's got me using cranks when the temperature goes up. I troll Harris

How deep do you troll them? I got Bandit 300's and Arkie 350's.

I troll them bout 12" up from where the fish are

But I also use the 12' crappie max rods because they can handle the 2oz weights

tuckertown is full of whites and highrock has a good population especially on the southern end, i catchem in both lakes on cranks

i pull mine, if i wanted to fool with wieghts and go slow id tightline, pulling cranks is a fast in your face rod slaming afair, the point is to catch large scattered suspended fish. moving 1.5 i have covered twice the water that another person has at .7, but u need a lake full of whites for this to work
