bobw Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I think they really work, my Skeeter came with them, and I know a lot of Pro's use them. We also used the G Juice which is supposed to be made to use in conjunction with the Oxygenator. I'm sure othere products work just as well. But I know several guys that have used it and swear by it. We kept ice in the wells as well. I guess it all helped, they were very alive to weigh. Champ188, magicwormman and Codywskeeter1521 3
Sprint21fter Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I have one in my boat and they keep em alive as long as your battery lasts. I have a club member who has been wrecking them up long creek on crankbaits as well Codywskeeter1521, Champ188 and magicwormman 3
Codywskeeter1521 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Wow, awesome job guys! Glad to see the river turning on. That's a heck of a sack of fish.
Sore Thumbs Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 This is another technique I need to start doing. Do you mind sharing a few details? Depth, kind of areas you were targeting. Were they suspended or were you bumping the bottom? Codywskeeter1521 and mjk86 2
bobw Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Most everything we caught was 12-13' of water. So the 6XD was on the bottom. I don't know if there was any water running Saturday or not? But for the most part everything was on the down current or down lake side of a point. The fish were really schooled up, if you got one to bite it would fire the entire school up. My partner had 3 doubles on one crankbait. For the most part we were throwing it on 12-15# fluorocarbon line, 7' 10" Bass Pro Cranking Stick and a 5.1:1 reel. They were not on every point, you just had to look for them, but it didn't take but it din't take long to find out if they were there or not. I also used the new 8XD some and caught several on it. It will get down to 20', and I was using it out deeper to see if I could get a better Largemouth bite when we were catching Kentuckies up in the shallower water. There is no magic to it, you just have to have the right equipment and hit points till you find them. Once you do its a ball. SplitG2 and jmes 2
Sore Thumbs Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 That bite is probably gonna be gone by the time I get there. Ha. Thanks for the info. Gonna be at the Rock on Sat or Sunday. I will definitely have a crankbait tied on.

I will definitely have a crankbait tied on. There today gone tomorrow should be the MO of Table Rock. But you never know with the USCOE keeping the water up due to the malfunction of the dam flood gate/turbine that bite could continue. Trying to get down there in about 3 weeks and would love to get in on some crank fish. This spring and summer, aside from the monsoon weather season, I have had crap to do every weekend. Ugh.
Sore Thumbs Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Any ideas on where to put in near James/Aunts Creek area? Not up to date on all ramp conditions and ramps close in proximity other than Aunts. I'm coming from Bentonville
