After our Grenada trip, the wife held my nose pretty tight to the grindstone on that dadgum honey-do list, haha. Managed to sneak out for a quick final trip before I head back to my ship. Pulled cranks from 6am-9am. I had a lot of short strikes, probably 12 or more knockdowns that didn't stick. I ended up putting eight crappie in the boat along with a few whisker-fish. Nothing to brag about size wise. They all ran about 10-12" or so. Had one nice slab spit the hooks at the boat. 4-6' deep in 25-30 foot of water. Arkie 220 in ghost craw was the popular one. All fish were released for another day.

Question for you veteran crankbaiters: what do you do when they are short striking?
