That is nice theygotaeat. Congratulations!
Good job
95% of what I know about cranking came from crappie.com the other five percent is getting out on the water and learning from your mistakesQuote:

The crankbaits pulled out the back have no weight
Now all you need is some of the new Arkie 350 crankbaits that ScottV designed the colors on and I field tested. They run good and have a good wiggle. Arkie 350 Series Crankbait
Great pics and some nice fish.
Nice catch
Hey G when do you think we will start seeing those Arkie 350s in our local storesQuote:

Probably be next year......you can order them off of the Arkie website though and Grizzly Jig will be stocking them soon as well.
theygotaeat is right on! We caught these the day after Memorial Day trolling cranks. I don't mean to hijack your thread just want to add to it. I didn't catch these in LA but pretty darn close to it. The pic is about half of the days catch. And of course they are the better fish.Attachment 204959
How much weight do you normally run for pushing cranks?
No problem the more the merrier[emoji106]Quote:

Thanks for the input.
I have some of the 2 oz. and 3 oz. weights from Scott as well. Work nicely because I don't have as much line out. The problem with me though is catching too many catfish. I've learned not to use orange or pink because they love those colors. Still catch way too many for some reason.
What kind of area are you fishing ? I mainly follow the shad and run my cranks in open water.....get a catfish or a stripe sometimes but not often. If I push them in a cove and go up the creek I will catch more catfish. Most of our crappie are whites and in the summer they follow the shad and suspend in open water. I check their depth on my fish finder and try to run my baits a foot or two above them. They will come up a little to hit one but they wont go down. Fishing too deep will produce catfish too.Quote:

Sure is relaxing doing it though with the Ipilot.
Yep....Terrova with I-Pilot is the way to go
