My home lake is Barren River Lake which holds a good deal of better than average size crappie and enough dinks to keep its future bright. So why is it that I can't seem to do very well pulling crank baits, best day so far has been 3. I parallel points, humps, pull across them. I change color, depths speed, doesn't seem to mater. As creel clerk I interview people who say they do well pulling cranks but as of yet, I haven't seen the first boat in action. (do fishermen lie) I can go to another lake, Malone, and catch 20-25 a day, but the fish that come from there are pretty thin and on the short side. Am I doing something wrong? I troll with 2, 14' rods, one out each side, 2 out the front, each has a 3oz weight for depth adjustment, and 2 out the rear of the boat. Is it the lake? Winter draw down pulls the lake about 25'. There are areas with a depth of 70', and the thermocline has set in for the summer at about 20'. Just thought I'd throw it out on the table and see if I'm missing something.
