Almost Crankin' Time

[ScottV]

It's been too windy here to jig fish so I gave the crankbaits a try. The crappie are still in the more shallow end of the reservoir so I had to pull some shallow runners. I had 6 rods off the rear of the boat and a planer board off each side. I wound up with 21 keepers but I gave them to a friend. He has a job and can't fish every day. I felt so sorry for him. Lol

This was one hungry BG.

Nice, you have a job. Making them crappie miserable all year round.

If I had 6 cranks swimming behind my boat,I'm sure I would be doing more then pulling in crappie,lol.Looks fun though.

Ha crazy bream! How's the planers working out?

 

[StumpHunter]

I think you are right about it's time for pulling cranks! Look like you caught some good crappie and a nice bream.

Thanks guys, the planers do good. I have to angle my rear poles up a little to give me room to let my planer boards out without getting tangled. I let 35 ft of line out then attach the planer board and let it out. When you get a fish on, the flag goes down to let you know. I get a higher percentage of fish with the planers, I guess because they're farther away from the boat.
