Thread: A learning process

Went out to Jordan yesterday and started out spider rigging with the intention of pulling cranks later in the day. Well trolling motor went out on me around 10:30 (TM breaker keeps tripping on me) so I fired up the big motor and started pulling. Ended up catching a 12" crappie, small catfish and a 3.5 lb bass on the cranks. I don't have line counter reels but I've marked a 10 foot spot on the boat and use that to gauge my line length. Just doing the best I can and trying to learn as I go. On the plus side fishing during the week is at least peaceful without the pleasure boaters.

Great post. Enjoyed it with those nice pics. Power pro produces a line called depth pro hunter. It is a multi colored fishing line. Every 25 yards is a different color with blk marks every five yards. It has four main colors so when you come full circle you know you have 100 yds out. Might try a spool. If your spools are large compacty, fill half the spool with cheap line and then finish the spool with depth hunter. Connect the two lines with an Albright knot.
