Bayou Macon Cutoff (shell)
Slow day at shell today, only caught 4, with 2 really small and 2 about 9-10”. They were scattered in the channel 4-14’ deep, longlining and pushing jigs. Pushing cranks didn’t yield anything. It was a hot one, water temperature was 93.

It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.

I agree, I’ll take it after the days I’ve had. Still a novice but learning a little. I may have to give Poverty Point another try since I starting pushing and longlining.

I have yet to crack those two; pushing cranks and long-lining jigs. I've tried, but with little success. I guess that's why I always return to pulling cranks. It's more productive than the other two on the bodies of water that I fish.Originally Posted by TigerFanatic1

Only need three more years before I can think like a fish.

I may try pulling cranks one day. I like pushing because my local waters aren’t highly productive, so I do a quick turn around anytime I catch a few in the same area. I’m also losing a lot of cranks pushing and am thinking pulling may be worse. I’ve been pushing jigs and cranks at the same time to determine if there is an advantage to either. I’m kind of leaning towards getting away from cranks due to cost.

I've seen guys on TV fishing tournaments pushing cranks in shallow water close to cover. Me on the other hand, when I'm pulling, I try and to stay away from brush and snags. Most places that I fish have brush piles, but I know where they are and how close I can get to them. Pulling is definitely for open water where you have a lot of room to maneuver. Open water fish are following the bait balls. Find the bait and the fish are not far behind. Losing baits... well that's just part of the game. You need to invest in a good lure retriever and I've come to the conclusion you need both types; knocker on a string and a telescoping one. I carry both. Good luck.
