Converts on Lake Barkley 6-18-18

[M R Dux]

A friend of mine owns a big sporting goods store near Ky Dam. I’ve been hounding him for months about Pico cranks and how effective they can be. He asked recently if I could take him (Jack) and an employee(Don). We set the date and time. I had just got the boat in the water when they showed up, rearing to go.

We started in a cove that has been productive for me traditionally. We hadn’t much more than got the rods on the transom set out when the first crappie was hooked and landed. Jack and Don were eager learners and took everything I suggested to heart. The bites kept coming and the box began filling up. At one point we had 4 big crappie hooked and netted at the same time.

The occasional catfish made it interesting and those were added to the ice chest. We ended the trip when crappie # 39 and #40 came over the transom. We even culled out a small fish for #40.

I think I’ve made some crankbait converts. Jack ordered the first of many shipments of PICOs last week. He and Don will be able to give 1st hand testimonies of their crappie catching abilities.
