I've read up on how to pull crank baits for crappie and they pretty much agree that 75 degree water is a good time to start and the last time out I found 72. It looks like, from what I've read, you need to stagger the distance back on each rod 5-6' and fish above the schools in mostly 9-15 fow. I found a chart and wonder if this will work on most crank baits?
It's pretty close.
Just about any time is good for cranks. We were pulling cranks in April at Lake of the Ozarks in 50 degree water. You just have to go slow. As far as depth charts, Precision Trolling Data has the best and most accurate info. Speed doesn't make a difference in total depth, it just determines how fast it gets to that depth. Heres more info for PTD: http://www.thenextbite.tv/Precision_Trolling/page/6/0 They also have a list of all baits that are included in the app.
