So what is a crawler harness and how does it work?

He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!

Doc, there is a ton of info on them online. I have yet to seriously try them as they seem to be a bottom bouncer or some other weighted rig set up required. I am pretty sure you have to use them in 'clean' area's because they are prone to snags if not. Just a couple of hooks about 2" apart, then some beads, and then a large spinner blade on a clevis and another bead or two on top. Hook the worm at the end with the upper hook then stretch it out and hook again.

Pretty simple, but I bet it would take some getting use to in order to fish it correctly. I might be wrong. I am starting to get a feel for the lake and have a few spots I might try some on in the future that I think are pretty clean.

RPS has a couple of good threads on crawler harnesses. I tried to find them on the Table Rock site, but got lazy before I did. His tips on floating harnesses are good because they tell you how to deal with wood. They'll give you the local background you need.

I've fished harnesses a lot in the Columbia when I lived in Washington and up north in Minnesota as well. While the basics are the same, things are different down here. RPS's threads are must-reads.

The only down side I've found with using a crawler harness is that it's difficult to keep the spots off.

Thank you for the kind words.
