Tough day on Sardis also today (for me). My buddy and I pulled cranks from 7:00 til 12:30 and only caught 20 keepers. Wind blew from south when we started, changed to the west, then to the north and was blowing from the east when we left.

How long does it usually take you to get a limit for 2 on Sardis ?

It's been taking about 5-6 hours, recently. In June, we were limiting out in about 3 hours but it seems that the fish are getting thinned out by all of the pressure. I think the bite was off yesterday because of the strange weather.

30 keepers in 3 hours would be some good no....great action.

So how long does pullin cranks go into the fall. When is the beginning in the spring, just after the spawn ?

My rule of thumb is to fish cranks when water temp is above 70 degrees. I usually start about 3-4 weeks after the spawn and quit in the fall when the crappie start to bunch up since I prefer to spider-rig for them.
