Update** Finally got on the water water and pulled cranks today and I gotta say I was pretty impressed with results for first time out. We caught 2 that weighed about 1lb and the rest was small. We only pulled for about 1 1/2 hours as we started the day spider rigging. It was definitely a different experience as to what I am used to due to the speed we trolled but fun nonetheless. The sweet spot for us today was about 50 feet of line out at 1.5mph. The picos outfished everything in my box today specifically the orange/red crawfish patterns. I did lose one bait that broke off before I realized what happened but I have another order to pull the trigger on this afternoon.

I have been a ride or die spider rig man but after today I think I may new tool in the tool box to pull out when things are tough. I really appreciate everyone’s advice and help in getting me going in the right direction with this.
