I'm a newbie at this, but have been wanting to try it. Is it too early to use crank baits? I had my boat set up last year, but had some health issues and never got to go.

Never to early-----can always pick up a green carp.
I don't think it is too early to start trying, just gonna get better as it warms up!!
I caught a few the other day just playing with cranks, I prefer to long line now, but cranks will work.
The way I understand it cranks work better when it's hot out. I'm waiting to try it myself.
I will try it in a couple weeks what test line do you troll with. in open water
high vis mr crappie 8-10 # my personal preference. U may loose a few cranks but man u can seen what's going on and where your line is.
Somebody has to get the trash out of the lake.:biggrinQuote:

I pull crankbaits from the first of May all the way untill the week before Christmas
