OH Crappie 7/2/14

[nailman_83]

Started bass fishing but wasn't having much luck. Switched to trolling crankbaits for crappie from 630-730pm. Caught 6 keepers in EXACTLY 22 fow. The wind was brutal so I had to run the outboard the entire time.

Nice mess of fish.

Your staying on them....something to be said for that in itself!

How deep do you think your crankbaits were running? I pulled cranks in Bledsow (200 Bandits) in about the same water and only caught a couple drum. I believe I'm going to have to move down lake to get into the crappie. Just frustrating me up here.

I was trolling 5 with my line out 60-110 feet. Not really sure how deep they were running. Probably 10-14 feet deep. The furthest line out had a shallower driver.

What I did was run one out 80' and kept driving shallower until it hung up. That will give you an idea of the depth but it will cost you a crankbait.

When i was between sonar units that was how i found brush piles. I went cheaper though...just a big treble and a sinker. Lol!
Time consuming but pretty effective.
