Trolling Crankbaits

Yesterday morning, I joined the "Trolling Crankbaits for Crappie" cult. My first trip trolling on KY lake using Jenko Crappie Cranks and Bandit 300 series crankbaits. I used 4 rods and that kept me busy. Caught 9 keepers in 3 hrs along with bass, catfish & yellow stripes. The crappie were suspended at 15-16 ft with a water column of 19-22 ft. I think I'm hooked on this technique for targeting suspended crappie. Thanks to J. Hughes, E. Bing and J. Thompson for tips and how to's on Trolling Crankbaits for Crappie!

You are hooked for sure, nice catch. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats buddy. Welcome to trolling for crappie. It only gets worse. I believe there isn't a cure. However, weekly lake therapy sessions manages the symptoms. Hollar anytime.

Good catch.

Yep, you're hooked on another great way to catch crappie AND spend money. Just wait till you start ordering blanks and painting your own cranks. Hooked for sure!!! Good catch, Wade.

It's like an addiction! Can't leave a sporting goods store without getting some more drugs I mean baits!

Photobucket now charges you for hosting your pictures IF you post them on a third party website (like Crappie.com) !!

You may want to do what some of the rest of us have done, and that's upload all your Photobucket pics into your computer's picture files .... and then just close your Photobucket account. Or pay them their ransom fee. :banghead

The owners at Arkie are the suppliers of my addiction!!!

Aww man...
Get you some Picos

congrats on a great catch

Nice job, look like dandys too.

good to have other tools in the arsenal heh.

Thanks for the comments, suggestions and warnings!!!

I'll try any brand crankbait if it catches crappie and runs straight!!! Send me some info on favorite colors for KY Lake and where to purchase. I'll give them a pull!!!

Hope to make the Fall Shindig for techniques, electronics workshops, fish fry and homemade cobblers!!!

Jerry H. will have to be "lured" away from his deer "honeyhole"!!!

We're doing really well on the new PICO cranks in Zombie, Mudbug,and Red Craw.

I had a father, his 11 year old son, and 9 year old daughter from Seattle, WA out Sunday. The little girl caught every one of her many fish on Zombie and was so excited. The baits were no longer cranks to her, they were all Zombies! If I had more than the one left, I would have given it to her.
