Well shoot... I hate that I missed you. I left a little after 5 hope to see you next time
I pushed cranks most of the day without much success
Then I switched to 5 jigs tied about 12 to 15 inches apart with 3 Oz weight on the bottom. I caught more pushing those than cranks

You can just use your spider rigging set up from the front stagger a couple of rods out each side and start trolling you don't have to get anything special

What kind of poles you using?

**theygotaeat** · 10-06-2015, 08:06 PM

Mostly rods and reels I had already
2-16' tightline special
2-12' bm west point
2- 8' old bass rods
4-6.5' old bass rods
I started with 4- 6.5' and 2-12' with 2 foot mark ahead of reel let line out 2 ft at time til got to target depth caught plenty that way

Man, theygotaeat, your killing me. You limit out and I can't catch even one with a crankbait. LOL. My hat is off to you sir. Congratulations! You and fishervet are my crankbaiting idols.

Im thinking cleco would be good also for cranks but the only good clean place that is not full of stumps is only 9 to 10 feet deep is that to shallow for the cranks to do any good? if serously looking to come out I will take you to the open spot I now and let you work your magic as far as finding the lake thats not a problem its right off of I 49 exit # 103 (LENA EXIT)
