Thread: Pulling Cranks 101

Pulled for several hours today on the Rez but only got one small Crappie and two small cats. EZ went with me to see the i-pilot in action, I think he's hooked now.

once the thermacline set up. I'd catch maybe a couple but that was it. Time to pull out the spider rigging for early morning and the single pole for after say about 9:30 or so and hit the stumps. I've heard rumors about one person still wearing them out on cranks but it's only in one location. I ain't been on the rez in over a month though so I don;t know exactly where YET. I might go Sunday morning though

Just wanted yall boys to know that I stayed up way past my bedtime reading this whole dagumm thread and yall have me conviced this is what I need to be doing with my life!! LOL I am going to get some cranks and try out my home lake bc I really think that I could smack some slabs with this the rest of the summer and fall!!! Just got one ? for yall. The avg dept in my lake is around 14', grant it with some deep holes but should i try 200's or 300's?? Any suggestions would be appreciated greatly!!!

Pulled at the rez yesterday and the results could be a carbon copy of the last time I tried it here. I did find out that I have been fishing way too deep. I got to use two things yesterday that I had never used before though. A plug knocker (worked 2 out of 3 times) and spot lock on the i-pilot. Spot lock worked as advertised, had a pretty good wind but it kept me close enough to where my line was pretty much straight up and down so that I could concentrate on getting my baits back without worrying about where the boat was going. Every time I use the i-pilot I like it better. We'll be hearing about how t-man likes his in a few days.

i pulled for the 1st time yesterday on sardis. i quickly found out that its not the easiest way to fish by yourself. didnt have a clue what i was doing just going by what ive seen others do. wasnt very productive caught 2 crappie a cat and lost what looked like a giant cat. was still fun learned alot about it by screwing up.

Keep trying....it will get better, thats what they keep telling me. I am trying to learn also.

The more money you spend the easier it gets. One person is no problem if you get the I pilot on your TM.

im good with investing in fishing stuff but my wife doesnt like it so much. ive got a ton of bass rods that are all lengths that would work better than what i used the other day.
