I'm so lucky to be Mrdux's "I need to go find fish for a guide trip" flunky ...

Cousin calls and says he's got to find fish so here we go ...

Due to some unforeseen vehicle issues crp4570 wasn't able to go ... Oh well ...

Slow pickings starting out today with the bluebird skies, North wind and no current ...

By lunchtime a few clouds helped and ended up scratching out a mess for Doug and Miss Vicki ...

Attachment 273950

We have the walleye's cousin (the Sauger) here at KY Lake ...

We catch a few here and there ... Great eating ...

Doug used to actually target Sauger ... I will drag him away from guiding crappie one day to see what secrets of Sauger-esk are in that white whiskered bean of his ...

Besides when you quit catching fish, when do you stop trolling cranks and go to slow trolling or spider rigging. I know you (Mrdux) starts trolling cranks earlier than most and I agree with his thoughts, but was curious about when to stop. Is there a water temperature that is a good indicator. I don't get out as much as I would like and I have a set of poles rigged for either cranking or a set for spider/long lining, I really don't want to bring them all with me in case the crank bite is over.

Thanks,
Ray

I like those seats MRDUX. I just ordered two for my boat based on you review. Can't wait to use them.

I'll start thinking about it when the water temps get to low 60s AND the baitballs have moved toward the mid to back sections of bays. I pulled cranks well into November last year just because we were still catching good numbers of good crappie.
