I pulled cranks for the 1st time solo. Moved my spider rig from the front to the back. Pulled 1.8-2.0 mph with Outboard(25 HP Mariner). Caught 15 fish, no keepers, but had a great time. Started w/ 3 poles and then added 2 more. Should have stayed w/ 3 - had 2 tangles. Hey BRM, you told me at the Spring Camp back in March it was addicting, and I am now!! BRM, found your card on my pickup when I got back to ramp. When I saw your tag and decal, knew it was you. Waiting for your report!
Took my trolling polls put of my boat today. Put cranking rods back in. Going to try Enid tomorrow. No more minnows for me this summer!!!
Same here! I won't be trolling anymore this summer either. I have bought my last "minner". This was my 1st time pulling cranks, and by yourself, you work your tail off! Had I been at Sardis yesterday, I would have had some keepers, but the 11" MLL is soon going away. My next trip is to Sardis. The bite at Enid was good, but the fish were a little short. Hope you do better than I did tomorrow!Quote:

I had someone with me three of the days I fished and still only caught two keepers per day. I enjoyed it, but the fishing was really tough. I hope to see you again soon.Quote:

Thanks, Bill. Guess I was in the wrong place. Started @ Bean Ck up to Longbranch and back.:Doh:Quote:
