Well tried me some spider riggin yesterday

didnt do much good, only caught one keeper and a few dinks, but now if I had been cat fishing or stripe fishing, I would call it a success. fished double jigs tipped with minners and worked 7 ft to 16 ft and could see fish but as the norm for me, what I see I dont catch, gotta stay patient, didnt even bring bandits cuz I know that I would have chucked the spider stuff and went to crankin. Ifn I wanted to pull cranks in say as shallow as 7 ft can this be done with the 200 series ? was reading on the chart and accordin to them, you would have to just be runnin like 20 to 30 ft behind the boat and was wandering if that is close enough to spook the fish ?

thanks

I have pulled cranks 35 to 40 ft. behind the boat before and it did not seem to spook the fish and I am pulling with my outboard.

Stay at it Maachuu you will get it figured out. Spider rigging or slow trolling is the method of choice right now for Pickwick. Well side dragging is probably the most popular at Pickwick as that is the home of Roger Gant but I would make my bet on slow trolling against side dragging if exact location was a constant.

I just don't get why side pulling would ever be superior to spider rigging. Even if the fish are spread over a flat. Spider, you can go fast or slow or even dead stop. Keep depth constant or vary. The one thing it might have on spider rigging is not being so dependant on flat water, but it sure does seem like that'd be awful uncomfortable being sideways to the waves and if cranks ain't an option, long lining would be...which is side pulling out the back as I understand it and you've got the bow to take the brunt of the wave action. I'm sure there's more to it than I know, but I ain't figured it out yet.

WB, on the side pulling, it is bad on the back when you are in wind and waves, have to use a wind sock sometimes to hold me back, Gant only does it that way and he always catches fish but I havent found a way to slay crappie yet but will keep on trying, I did catch as many crappie on crankbait this summer as I have ever on side pulling or trolling. just trying to expand my options with the spider rigging

I am with you, Wannabe (can not believe I just typed that) on the side dragging method but Roger Gant has made quite a name for himself side dragging. At Pickwick side dragging way out numbers spider rigging.
Proof is in the results: Capps and Coleman have won 8 events in a row on Pickwick and they spider...

Hey Ray, did you ever get more hats in? I never got those 2 hats you were sending

Capps and Coleman have their on stake bed areas that can hold fish year round. They also have everybody up there telling them where the fish are. I was told a few years ago that they paid 2 messicans to sink 5000 hoe handles(trailer load) on Pickwick.
