I have had a blast the last two days pulling cranks a Sardis. Pre-fishing Fri, marked some spots where I caught fish and today, went back to those same spots and caught my first ever "limit". If you fish by yourself and you want to pull cranks, get a Terrova with I-pilot and you will thank me.
I went through where you were and a few other places and they were not hitting squat. I FINALLY found a few out in the middle of the dang lake
DD - You aren't alone, we fished again yesterday and it was definitely tougher, Yikes & Speck said the same thing too. I think that front passing through messed it up some.
I had put the boat in, parked the truck and was heading down to the ramp and hear. HEY, DonDon, that you? I turned around and Kent was over there lining his poles up so I went over and talked abit with him before I went back down. Well, bout 2 or so hours later I got a text from him asking me if it was as slow for me as it was him. Course later on I got another text saying he had 3, 15 inchers dadgummit. Then again by that time, I had 2 at 14 1/2 and a 15 incher myself:D
Well if it was slow for Driscoll then it really must have been a tough day.
Not that bad, Yikes said Kent left w/ 22 around 11 or so, lol. We caught a 16 3/4" some of you guys would have liked the day (pic in thread called "Caption Contest", so it happened:) ) before but everything else we had was average, the wind blew us off of that spot pretty early on.
I know I said I was gonna go with only four crank pulling rigs but just got in two new J&M 8' pro trollers with line counters of course. Think I'm going to run the 12' and 8' straight off the sides and my two 10'ers straight out the back for line separation & see how that works. Anyone have any thoughts on this setup?
Maj. I think with my new racks on each side I will run those 3 on each side and if there are two or more of us fishing I may run two off the back.
They tell me when pulling straight out the back to have your rod holders angled upwards...this is supposed to keep the rods from getting pulled out. Does anyone have any input on this? sat? , Wannabe? , torch? Anyone?
I've heard that too G, thanks.
