By the end of the day ole HitTheClicka had one flicker shad that was as near to bring the fish up as a stick of dynamite. He was crushing my ego with the suttleness of his lure.Originally Posted by Snagged again

Thanks for sharing the info. More good stuff.
What kind of speeds are you trolling for crappie? White bass fishing back in the day, we would just put the boat in gear pulling Bayou Boogies and kill them. I assume that would be a little fast for the crappies? I have read speed, can really be key, along with depth, color, etc... thanks again.

I believe, generally speaking, that crank trolling speeds are between 1.5mph & 2mph.
I do know that when I've been in other boats & using cranks for Crappie, the normal speed was 1.8mph ... BUT, that was when using 2oz weights ahead of the cranks. I, personally, have trolled at 0.7-1.0mph while using jigs & cranks and only having 1/2oz of weight on the line ... and still caught Crappie.
So, I'm not so sure there's a magic speed ... but, the depth of the fish is the primary factor, and the speed/weight/lure size/lure type/line distance/etc. is used to accomplish getting the bait to that depth range.
