Crank fishing can be very good at times on our lakes but black crappie are not as easy as the white crappie are. I been pulling crank's for many years and still do from the kayak as it works. The best lake for cranking I have found it to be Clark Hill and parts of Hartwell because of the mix of both fish. It is surprising that on the Hill even the black crappie will hit the cranks better than other lakes, I believe it is because of the competition of both species for the same meals. It can be very costly but sure is fun to do.
