Crankin LOZ 7/12

Son and I got on the water about 5:30PM started trolling along bluffs by Pier 31 Marina and caught a few nice fish. When the boat traffic slowed more we hit some main channel flats and had a ball until it got dark. We trolled along the outside edge of the flats with Sexy Shad 300 bandits and caught a lot of crappie. We kept 10 that were in the 11"-12" range and had 6 white bass and hybrids two about 15" and a eating size blue cat. It was my son's first time fishing like this and he is ready to go again. Was gonna get some pics but it was late by the time we got some dinner and got home.

Sounds like a great time.....

Great report targa congrats to you and your son be careful you'll ruin him ,he won't want to do anything butt pull crankbaits!We're going to be on the glaze for a couple days hope we can give as good a report as you two.

Thanks for the report! Cranking is addictive!

Way to catch them. We are coming down on Wednesday and normally fish the same areas. I have a white Seaark with a black Suzuki 140, if you see me sometime stop by and say hello.

Went back last night. Wife and I got on the water about 6:30, started out good we had a couple 12" fish and some dinks and a nice hybrid right off the bat. Trolling batteries didn't recharge or something and I couldn't run fast enough on 100%, so we turned our fish back and headed home. I'll have to find out whats going on tonight.

kwpipkins, I'll be in a Tracker Targa single console. If you see me say Hi. The water in that area is clearing up nice,still some trash and sticks floating though.
