    Default Trolling Crankbaits


    Yesterday morning, I joined the "Trolling Crankbaits for Crappie" cult. My first trip trolling on KY lake using Jenko Crappie Cranks and Bandit 300 series crankbaits. I used 4 rods and that kept me busy. Caught 9 keepers in 3 hrs along with bass, catfish & yellow stripes. The crappie were suspended at 15-16 ft with a water column of 19-22 ft. I think I'm hooked on this technique for targeting suspended crappie. Thanks to J. Hughes, E. Bing and J. Thompson for tips and how to's on Trolling Crankbaits for Crappie!

    Congrats buddy. Welcome to trolling for crappie. It only gets worse. I believe there isn't a cure. However, weekly lake therapy sessions manages the symptoms. Hollar anytime.

    Yep, you're hooked on another great way to catch crappie AND spend money. Just wait till you start ordering blanks and painting your own cranks. Hooked for sure!!! Good catch, Wade.
    Just get up and "gofishin". The fish are waiting!

    It's like an addiction! Can't leave a sporting goods store without getting some more drugs I mean baits!
