I changed everything I could think of, speed, depth of cranks, depth of water, and colors. But nothing was changing for us until I remembered reading a thread about whether or not glow cranks or jigs really worked, and some people stated that on cloudy days and or heavily stained water that the glow jigs or cranks can make a difference. So I looked and I had 2 glow pink Bandits and 1 glow chartreuse. So I put these on and the bite picked up immediately, now we didn't slay them but ended up with 20 or so. I also changed my other cranks to a very bright chartreuse and caught some on them too. But it was clearly evident that the glow cranks on that cloudy and windy day fishing heavily stained water caught the most fish. Sorry I didn't get any pics of the fish, but wanted to pass this experience on to others just incase it might come in handy as it did for me.
