    Default Crank bait trolling.....


    I'm a newbie at this, but have been wanting to try it. Is it too early to use crank baits? I had my boat set up last year, but had some health issues and never got to go.

    I caught a few the other day just playing with cranks, I prefer to long line now, but cranks will work.

    The way I understand it cranks work better when it's hot out. I'm waiting to try it myself.

    Somebody has to get the trash out of the lake.

    J/K I would think longlining cranks could be done at anytime of the year but from what Ive been told most who pull cranks waits until the jig bite dies down (if that really happens ) @ early summer.
    Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
