I have no doubt about that, Sparky .... it's pretty much the same for Lake Cumberland fish. You get within <20ft of a school and they're very likely to just move off or scatter ever whichaway.

I was down there yesterday, let the wind push me a little to close to a school on a tree. They were gone within seconds. Bite was super tough. Best for the day was 1.75.

Anyone have any luck long line trolling cranks for crappie on Dale Hollow or Cumberland?

Cranks would have to work as well.

As most of you have posted I always want to spend more time on the water. Looking back thru my stuff I've been out over 60 times in 2020 but rarely fished in July/August & September. That needs to change in 2021. I need to get on those Catfish in the Ohio river & make a effort to get out to some of these ponds in my area.
* Continue to learn/refine using my electronics.
* Really learn to become a better multi-species angler.
* Sort of roll thru the seasons with whatever species should be biting.
* Snap more pictures is another goal.
* Hit the road for new waters.
* Start a fishing journal/logbook.

Moved to Lexington, so spending more time at Green and Cumberland this year. I bought a bunch more walleye gear to mix things up from just pulling cranks for crappie all the time so we shall see.

Doug, you may already know or have heard of Greg Fenn. He runs Camo River Guide Service on Lake Fork in Texas. Greg was the first crappie fisherman I knew who started using LiveScope. You might be interested in looking at some of his videos for he fishes several clients at one time in his pontoon boat with all of them using one pole set-ups like you mentioned. LiveScope really works fine for him and the way he operates. Just thought I'd share this with you. Hope you are doing well and have a great Christmas.
