Trolling/Pulling Cranks on Gibson

[Lonnie84]

Just wonderd if anyone did this type of fishing around here much in summer time?

I have never pulled cranks on Gibson but have at some of the other lakes. In the summer I usually pull on flats 10-15 fow next to the channel in the early morning. The shad will pull up on this flats at night and the crappie will follow them (so look for shad). I have never thought this technique was a load the boat approach here in Oklahoma but have catch a lot of quality fish doing it. In hot weather it's also nice to have a little breezes trolling along at 1.5-2.0mpg.

I'm thinking of giving it a try, I know a lot folks troll for sand bass on FG when it's in season so I'll see how it does for crappie.
