Crankbait temperatures

[JoeyWelch]

Whats your best temps for pushing crankbaits? Really wondering what you would consider to cold. I got a chance a few weeks back to play with them and caught a few fish but the temps have dropped a little since then. Just wondering if it’s worth fooling with this upcoming weekend.

Thanks Men

60 degree water temp is the lowest I push or pull cranks. Hope you can get another trip in.

I'm curious of the same question. Our surface water temp here is hovering around 60. I pushed jigs and cranks this past Sunday, the jigs got bit, not the cranks.

I’m still above 70deg here. I’ll probably give em a go after the day gets going. Gonna fish minnows to start the day off.

Good luck. Let us know how you do.

38 for pulling, don't know why pushing would be any different.

Thats cold!
Especially for a South Alabama boy like me. Lowest I see it here is occasionally 48-50. But that’s not every year.

Joey ... I'd ask M R DUX what his temp range is for Pulling cranks, as that's pretty much what he does when he guides people on KY Lake.

I think I remember him saying 50deg, but don't quote me on that.

Thanks Pappy.
I may see if he’ll give me some pointers.

Springtime…I pull at 40-42..cold water I go slow..1.2 to 1.4 mph at the most.
