Thread: Cranking for crappies on Kentucky Lake

Spent the morning trolling for for crappie on the main channel. Trolled with length of line from 40 to 90 feet in 17-20 fow. I was running at 1.5 mph. Saw many schools of fish but no takers. Anyone finding any active schools or are they in the mouths of bays getting ready for summer patterns? Any info appreciated.

Same here, though I couldn't ever find a decent school, just random singles here and there.

Best colors for me were Pico Grenada Green, Pico Mr. Goodtime, and all three of the Jenko Midnight colors.
