    Default Opening Day of Cranking Season


    If you had to pic a specific day, when would you say the official opening day is on the average year? How does that correlate to this year? Things seem a little out of kilter this season. Opinions?

    Managed 5 keepers today pulling cranks. Surface temp 67-69 degrees, fishing 8'-12' deep. Done better than most spider rigging and single poling that I spoke to. They drawing Butla down fast. Bite had just gotten better and I had to leave at 3:30 due to plans this evening.
