Take Me Fishing

That’s what I heard Thursday evening when I answered the phone. Come over and stay the night and we will leave early from my place. We got to Woodson Landing on time, just before sun up and a cool 20 min boat ride found us at My Spot. Charline got the first one. Attachment 376776
Then another poll doubles over and I think this is gonna be one heck of a dayAttachment 376777
We even came across another crank bait puller “lvoories” love that hatAttachment 376778
Then things slowed down but the quality was there Attachment 376779
Spot even got him one to chew on Attachment 376780
We caught 4 of these big suskas, they always get hooked with both sets of hooks 1 in the mouth and 1 in the gill plate making them spin and never fails to tangle in another line or twoAttachment 376781
And here is another spinner, we got this one lassoed Attachment 376785
Short Line had a great time even though the trolling motor battery started running low, we brought home 8 big Sacalait 4 Goo and 1 catfish. Po called to check on us to make sure we got in safe and said she had 12.

Great report and pictures Chip! Thanks for sharing!

Something not rite, just checked the battery charger. Yesterday when we got home the charger said 51% battery life remaining 15 hrs later only 73% charged on rapid charge. I have the caps off and the water is fine the conections are clean and tight. The smart charger will even tell if it has a bad cell, no light. I've got to dig around in my shed to find my old hydrometer, hadn't seen that thing in 3 yrs sense the purchase of the new charger and battery. I'm probably have to bring it in and have a load tester check it. Cant be without a hot battery.

Dogone good report Skip....nice 15" sac....

Nice catch Chip, I like the way you wrangle those catfish.
"gene"

Nicely done

Good trip. I had very similar battery problems. Fuse blown on one changing circuit. Replaced fuse still not working right. Maybe shorted cell in battery. 4 years old so I’m going to replace them both

I like a loud hat. Let’s the bass fisherman see me before they run over me. LOL

Good thing to have. The "gotta show off my roostertailers" were thick this morning. We had around a dozen nice fish this morning and around 30 5 to 8 inchers we threw back at Larto.

Skip, you using line counter reels? I am looking at them now.

Yes the Shakespeare ATS from Northwoods Warehouse. That’s the cheapest I could find.

Thanks, I tried pulling cranks in the last couple of weeks. I caught a few, but getting baits out at the same depth/distance is tricky. The few I caught were huge. Fun technique.

Do you recommend the medium or medium heavy trolling rods? ATS 30's?

Hey DWR35,

Have you read https://www.crappie.com/crappie/miss...-cranks-101-a/ ?

I had not. Thanks
