I hear a lot of guys talking cranking time,,,,, what are you guys using to maintain speed for cranking on those boats? not sure if I have enough trolling motor for that on my 19.5' ranger 397xt fish and ski,,,, Onky 56 lb thrust, but I do have some nice golf cart batteries thanks to USbatteries... These babies get some time,, I think using the main motor would be too fast even with the Happy Trolling device,,, whatcha think ya'll?

I read those all the time. The only issue it is the exact same report for Enid and Sardis, and mostly the same for Arkabutla.

When I pull them up I'm basically looking for two things, depth of the water where they found them and depth they are holding. I use that as a starting point and figure the rest out on my own once I get on the water. If they give a general location like near a certain ramp or in a certain creek mouth great, if not, no big deal. I've got a few areas where I've caught them before so I'll try those and look for the right water depth, set my baits to run around the depth they are reported to have been holding/being caught and start from there and make adjustments based on what I'm seeing around me. If they are not biting at the first spot I'll pick up and run to the next one.
