Thread: Article: Trolling Crank Baits for Black Crappies!!!

Nice article!My wife and I have been doing the same thing for many years for black crappie.Ultra light cranks,4-5-7 number cranks,jointed cranks,over weed beds, pretty much every kind of fish in the lake will be buried in the weeds,they just have to be enticed out of the cover.

Since I've started targeting these "spec's" in the local ponds around me, I've tried the different techniques from this forum, but I always end up trolling. Covering more water allows me to mark spots to try these tips on in the fluxuating temps and conditions. Culling thru the bass and bream is just a nice bi-product. The ultra light world is rubbing off on me after growing up in the keys and S. Fla. I trolled then, and still trolling. Rapala is the ticket for me, they just work! Lately been trying to make them hit a 3" paddle tail swim bait deep since water temps in high 80's. But I always end the nite on a troll.
Thanx
