Thread: Good to my shiners

Yes whites seem to be easier to catch
With that being said the last couple of months I have been trying to target the blacks they require a different set of variables

I'm with ya on that one.

Great catch and thanks for the pictures and report.....

tgte, man you're killing me with these cranking reports. I've been inspired to give a try on Lake Erling were I usually do pretty well in the summertime cranking. Last Saturday morning I lost 3 crank baits trying to get down to 14 or so feet, Erling is full of stumps and laydowns and I usually only run 4 poles when I'm by myself because of that. Water temp was around 56 degrees I tried making S curves back and forth across the various channels never caught a fish that way. Finally trolled the flats around 12 to 13 ft deep in 14 to 18 fow and picked up 2 Saturday morning and 2 Sunday morning, they were nice fish but that was it. I talked to a few people jigging the channel drop offs and they weren't doing much good either. Is it stumpy where you're trolling? Keep up the good work!

Is it stumpy where you're trolling?
Most of the structure is man made ...very few stumps with lots of depth changes
