Bout that time . We might be out there Sun. also
Happy Birthday to your grand daughter! I have never fished cranks for crappie. Is there specific time you do this or can you fish for them most all year? The reason asked is that people report catching crappie just about all year in 15 to 20 foot in 30 foot of water. :scratchhead
You can fish them all year. I often do, but you do better during warmer months. From about now till end of summer is best. I usually pull bandit 300s or similar so I can pull down 16 to 18 foot and just look for the schools of shad. Crappie will be right there as well.
Clod you still in the toon?
BigDawgg we need to get together one weekend and try cranks on Wateree. Been wanting to give them a try there.
Do you pull cranks on Tillery?
I'd like to do that. I got these laying around here collecting dust. :RoflQuote:

I am finished at school in three weeks. Wide open to go anytime after that.
Don't run those cranks with blue on them early in the morning on Highrock unless you want cats making a mess of your lines. Especially once the water gets hot.
I pulled across one point on high rock last summer and had 4 nice cats hit 5 of my rods. What a mess
I've gotta try it! Sounds like fun even with the cats and mess.Quote:

Yes still fishing in the toon. Hit brush yesterday caught fish but a lot of lil ones. Started long lining jigs and start to catch so bigger fish. Still getting ready for cranks
Didn’t get to go today. Wife had other plans but off tomorrow so just hooked up the boat and loaded the cranks. Let y’all know how I do.
First official crank bait crappie of the year is in the boat.
That’s awfully good water if that’s High Rock.Quote:
