Scott who runs Georgia Boys Fish Camp on Dunns Creek told me he wouldn't even bother Speck fishing Crescent this time of year. The young lady who ran the bait shop on Dead Lake said the same yesterday.

Question concerning pulling crankbaits and jigs at the same time. Are Jigs effective at 2 -2.3 mph?

I pull my crankbaits at 1.5 to 1.8 mph

Fish are out there and they do eat. Just a tougher bite. I believe spiderrigging really slow in the right place or single poling dense cover would prove productive.

After having had a look around there, I was thinking along the same lines. Saw some good heavy cover with thick veg mat up Haw Creek. Thinking next week I'll spend my time single pole jigging heavy heavy cover in the deeper Creek. Will be hard to leave the hot inshore mangrove snapper bite firing off here, but I really want to learn this Speckled Perch game.

crappie are always there it's only when we limit what we do that it's hard to catch them. those who adapt to conditions and try new things are the ones who ketch them.

That’s what I refer to as “a bag of tricks”. Things don’t work right, what’s next?

I have caught a few on bandit 300 up here in IL. I tried to get into trolling cranks after watching You tube of trolling on Percy priest lake on TN. Also people do it in KY lake. I catch many walleye and whites in Wisconsin 1.5 to 2.3 mph

I just got daiwa Iexa Line counter reels 100 size very small and light. I put those on berkly lighting rod I have got largemouth so far

Reels ordered from cabelas and rods from fish USA. I also have vexan crapoie rods that I may try and I think they are a tougher rod

Last year on cresent I was trolling Southern pro hot grubs on 6# line with 1/16 plain lead pico jigs at .6 to .8. Had eight rods out the back or varying length it was first time and worked well. I like the slower speed and cheaper baits compared to cranks when you hook the brush
