Thread: Is it jig pulling or crankbait time?

I can't help you with Wheeler, but finding a decent place to long line jigs isn't hard, if you have decent electronics. Just try to find some humps or grass close to a creek channel and start pulling jigs. Pulling over the tops of grass is a great way to learn how deep your jigs run. They don't run as deep as I thought they would.

As far as cranks go, the lower end of the lake tends to be better. Spring Creek, First Creek, Second Creek, and out around the mouth of Elk River are decent places.
