Crankbaits

when you troll in the potholes, do you troll over the humps in the sand dunes and in front of frenchmens? last year there was a lot of big slabs caught on hot lips and shad raps.

Mostly around Frenchmens. The very top end of Lind Coulee is good if the water stays up. It's a high water year this year so the willows up the Coulee should hold a bunch of crappie this year. When the water comes down there are some great places you can hike back into up the Coulee or you can catch them on the rockpiles near the mouth. Also, if you head up crab creek to the inlet pipes, you can nail a bunch of big ones in there casting cranks. There are some old pilings in there. We always camp right at the pipes and fish it during the night under lanterns. Walleye, bluegill, channel cats, trout and crappie bite all night there during the summer and early fall.

thanks for the great info slab. i have a few spots for crappie out of the potholes but none for some big slabs. i can catch crappie with the best of them of the dock though :D .
