  1. Some tough days for the Ozark Flyer lately. Working HC north and War Eagle. Been pulling both cranks for Crappie and dragging perch on bottom for Cats. No great success with either. Seeing fish on graph 10-15 ft deep in 20 fow. The edge of mud flats for cats. No significant bite. No bueno! Looks like cooler weather next week. I’ll hit it again. A little nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.
  2. Well, small fish grow up to make big fish….maybe next year. Neighbor wants some Flatheads so I’m going to be pulling for Cats for a while. Probably put a couple long rods out the sides with blue/chrome 300’s as locators for some bigger crappie.
  3. Good report, thanks. I have been struggling to find quality fish. I switched from jigs to cranks some time ago. Catching a ton of dinks this year and like you, it’s been a lot of work to get bit at all. I’ve had some luck up War Eagle and N of HC. Same story as you. Fish hanging about 10-12 ft deep in 20 fow. Pulling Pico INT or 300’s just over their heads. Good luck to you. Dan
  4. Agreed, I run 6 Okuma Coldwater linecounters.
  5. I’ve pulled a lot of crank baits but not jigs. Mind sharing your setup?
  6. Went out scouting Striper out of HC this AM. Nada. Killing them here this time last year. So it goes.
  7. Yea, welcome to Beaver. I have lived on this lake three years and I’m still learning.
  8. I’m not an expert by any measure but my experience has been that it’s work any way you cut it. Pulling cranks can be a busy day if your really working it. Staying on your contour, watching your speed, planning your turns, fixing tangles and snags, landing and measuring, changing colors, watching your sonar,...etc., etc., etc.. It’s not the set em out and crack a beer that a lot of folks think. I am figuring out that success is all about observing and managing the details...what works, and what doesn’t. And I get my fair share of time observing what doesn’t work..
  9. Headed out tomorrow. Any reports?
