Report:Cranking Saturday

I waited until the heavy rain passed then loaded up and headed out. I got to the lake and just before lunch The lake was up a foot or so and water temperature was 64.8 degrees
I started off fishing some repaints and it didn't take long for them to pay off

Forgot my cooler and had to use my sport brella tie down cord as a stringer
If the weather holds out I will probably try again tomorrow

You killin me with those cranks. LOL. Congratulations! That is a very respectable sport brella tie down stringer full. LOL. Great job and thanks for posting.

That's quite an impressive catch and collection of crankbaits!
Does cranking work all year, or do you switch to other techniques at some point?

As long as the water temperature at least 50.
I caught them cranking in January this year.
I do switch off to spider rigging when the weather gets really cold.
Then I single pole the spawn and as soon as it's over back to crank'n

this is looking better and better

Nice catch. I always liked the look of fish on a stringer.
