    I beg to differ on both. Pico INT cranks getting it done in low 60s water. Name:  IMG_1834.jpg

    Very well done! What have been your most productive colors this year? I plan on starting to troll cranks soon. Longlining jigs on Grayson hasn’t been very productive for me so far this year

    The colors have been all over the place. I typically start out with different colors on every line and let the fish tell me. By far the best color the last week has been Pink Splatterback. I normally avoid pink because catfish wear us out on them.

    I agree Doug, I did well prespawn with my cranks. Everyone was fighting for the shallow spawning grounds and I was in the deeper water cleaning up the staging fish. They eat every day, and I want to be there.
