Pulling Cranks 101

that is the way i ran the two out the back at sardis, put them up at about a 30 degree angle and it worked fine. Even when that 3 pound cat hit it the rod stayed in place (thanks E-Z!!)

don;t even put my name up in there on knowing something. LOL I run 3 out each side. 16, 12 and 8, then out the back, I have built in rod holders and use 6 foot rods and YES, turn them up and they won't come out of the holder. I use the 6 footers here because the higher you have the rod tips, the more line you have to have out to get the the desired depth. I have 4 foot of separation on my out the side poles and then to my inner poles, I have 8 feet, then between the inner poles, I have 6 feet so I don't get tangled as often

I knew you would know DD.... Lmao :D Triton says 30 degree angle....sat says 45 degrees. I guess I will not take any chances and go with 40, Lol. :D

common sense on how high. I learned how much to turn them up when I had a rod fly out the back of the boat. OOPSY DAISY LOL

Pulled cranks today at Grenada with tritonman. We released all we caught, including a 16" and a 15". Caught a lot of fish most were small but would have had a good mess if we had kept them. Here are a couple.

Who says you can't ski behind a fishing boat.

And one of those pesky green carp.

Enjoyed fishing with t-man today. See you on the lake.

Glad you guys got to go and get on some fish.
