    I'll quote his other post in "finding fish in current": "Spider rigging until the surface temps get to high 40s then I break out the longline jigs up till mid to high 50s then it's crankbait time." But Doug can add to it I'm sure.

    In the spring I'll pull longline until I see a sharp rise in surface temps toward the high 50s. Ill run cranks from then till the water cools back down into the low 60s then it's back to longlining. Some of my best catches have come in very cool fall conditions when longlining. My typical longline speed is 0'6-1'0. Any faster it going to be cranks.
