When the water warms up in Late May through August, just want to know if any of you start running(trolling) crank baits (like Bandit 200's 300's) for Crappie, and if you have any success. I had some success in SC (Santee Cooper) by accident. We had a small fishing tournament for LM Bass in May about 3 years ago. (Retirement group, most of us had Pontoon's) So, we fished from a pontoon trolling crank baits at the lowest speed the 140HP motor would run. We did catch some LM Bass, but was surprised with the 12 crappie we caught while trolling, all were nice size. Probably we were going too fast, but think our baits were down about 10-15ft in 20ft of water. So, if anyone does some crank bait fishing for crappie, I'd like to know how you set up to do it here in KY.
