Met up with a crankbait pulling newby Wednesday afternoon and headed south. We hit the water and were fishing by 6:45 Thursday morning. My partner has had a little success (sarcasm) here and there crappie fishing but he stated at one point during the day "I think you just cost me a lot of money." We fished till 2:45 that afternoon and then packed up for a long drive back. I think the pictures will pretty much speak for themselves and its and understatement saying that we had a great time.
I'm glad someone finally showed him how to catch a decent fish. Good job Handi. That is a pile of meat. One of these days ya'll are gonna break that tailgate if you keep on.
Nice catch....
Another nice catch. Way to go!
Looks like nice day on the water
Nice catch Handi! The Lake sure looks calm.
Good job, you guys! Now that's a pile of fish! You keep that up and those Mississippi boys are going to put up a road block for you at the bridge! :yikes Thanks for the post and the pics.
Had a blast looking forward to whacking and stacking again soon.
Yeah! Good thing someone finally showed Don how to catch some fish! JkQuote:

He was still pumped about it at 6 p.m. Friday evening when I met up to buy some jig poles......you could not have slapped that smile off his face while he was telling about whacking them.....and how handi knew his stuff.....

As always... nice mess
Great catch you guys
I'm starting to think Kenyon works for the tackle manufacturers and tests all their tackle in Mississippi! Then again he could be a crank bait salesman!Quote:

Hey Handi, what brand and lengths of rod are those, if you don't mind sharing that info? What about the reels? I'm still spending money on spider rigging but someday I'd like to branch out to pulling cranks. Always wanted to but just haven't. Thanks for any help.
I spider rig and troll with the same stuff. I use B&M trolling rods, 9' and 10' and "bargain" reels. My money is in the Bandits. About $400 so far (replacement cost); I don't count the ones already lost. Mrs DP still wants to know who Creekslick is. I tell her the one with the shiney head.Quote:

So I think to pull cranks out the side I would need two shorter rods, like a 10' and a 6' (seems like I have been told they need to be at least 4 feet apart to avoid tangles) of 16', 12' and 8' rods.
That sounds like the setup that Creek uses, or very similar. Thanks, Kenyon,Quote:
