Thread: Pulling Cranks 101

Wow 3 mornings and a bottle of tylenol later I finely finished reading 160 pages of this thread. I started pulling cranks last year and came up with some pretty cool ideas for some of you guys that fish with a tiller motor and a small boat. The bucket self explanatory . What I did to construct the A Pilot was add 2 small shackles to the back corners of the boat and tie 2 length of para cord to the tiller handle and run them forward to the seat on the front deck. You are looking backwards so you can watch all your rods at the same time. This setup gets you away from the engine noise and smoke if you have a 2 stroke motor like me.

That's using your noggin!!!!

Like that....where there is a will...there is a way. Good job!

Spot allways gets the first fish this time it was a small Goo.

Watch out, Rickie will have you dry fitted and rigged with a sure PoDunk Steering apperatus before you know it.
Where there is a will, there is a Rickie!

Does anyone in Mississippi pull cranks this time of year with water temps 48-50? I'm thinking about giving it a try on D'Arbonne.

I'm no expert on pulling cranks, but I did just finish reading all 1598 posts on this thread. Several posters did say that they pulled cranks even in cooler water temps.
