    Default Cranking for Crappie? Bass, Catfish, White Bass

    Skipped the bacon and eggs this morning and loaded up on crankbaits instead. Just a 2.5 hr trip before the July sun begins bearing down and sends me on my way. Actually I have done this the past two mornings with the intent of catching crappie but in the process have actually caught catfish, bass, bluegill, yellow bass, and white bass.
    Points and channels are where I have been finding these fish suspended on Tellico Lake.
    Arkie 350's and Bandit 200's have been the most productive pulled at 1.5 mph. Arkies caught the best yesterday morning but the Bandits caught the most this morning. Go figure. Did loose one rapala shad rap to a good sized catfish. Thing broke me off as I was trying to get my hands on him beside the boat. Guess that's why they make nets huh?
    Had 27 fish yesterday but today I only had 17 before my shirt was wet with sweat and decided to call it quits.

    Great video and great catch. Those are some nice whites.

    I see it works for you but I have had so many fish lost by clients who try to use the drop-and-reel technique and let the line go slack by dropping it so far with me telling them to get the rod up high and just reel it in with the fish on top. Of course it's always my fault when they come off.
