I tried running 3 ways with cranks last saturday for the first time. We did pick up a few fish once we got our line lengths adjusted a bit. I did tie on a second crank for a bit, but it really cut the action on the front one so I took it off. Is this typical or do you somehow attach the second so it doesn't impede the front one quite so bad? I also am wondering a bit about pumping the rod when running raps? I assume this is kind of a let them tell you what they want thing? Or is it something you do pretty religiously? Thanks.

bearplotts, Don't be too discouraged about Saturday as the crank bite was not exactly on fire that day. As for taking the action out of the front bait, that is the idea. It's kind of hard to get used to but what the heck the back bait is still doing what it was when you were fishing it alone.
Some days the pumping action will trigger bites with most coming on the drop back but it seems that a steady drag with little rod movement has been better for my boat most days SO FAR this year.
As soon as our water temps take another drop give the doubles another try. There will be many days the front will outfish the back.
Stay with it! Marty

ecnook, I have heard that story from many others down your way. Very frustrating to say the least. The upside is we have a lot of fall left.
Get in that truck and head north!

Thanks Marty. How long does the 3 way crank bite hang on. Does it work pretty consistent all through the winter months or mainly until the water cools down too a certain temp? I know I saw people catching loads of fish doing it last spring when the water was high.

I feel that it is most effective from the upper 30 to mid 50 degree range. I think its effectiveness wanes when the water gets cold and clear. Not that it wouldn't work but I think there are better applications at that time. Things like hard line becoming unmanageable when it gets below freezing play into this.

Erick, Boy, now you have got me thinking. I always pay attention to which baits where catch more fish but not so much which species. I do know a lot of our better fish in general come on the front baits. Even when the majority are being caught on the back the bigger fish will be on the fronts.
Oh, maybe crazy about fishing but not crazy.

Hey Marty, Quick question. What weight have you been getting away with? Sunday I was using 2 ouncers and they seemed to be borderline O.K. when not in the full current. My bigger fish also came on the first one. I also had the F9's on the front also and f7's on back plus different colors, so it is difficult to really know if it was the size location or color that brought the bigger fish. Not enough fish in the boat to get a solid conclusion. Always a blast though Thanks for the update - Good luck the rest of the season.
-------------------- Thats why they call it "fishin" and not "catchin".

Great report as usual Marty. This time of year there is too much going on and I haven't been on the water in way too long. Thanks for the report and there is definitely food for thought in it!

I can't take credit for the threeway ringworm deal. I learned that from a guy named Dustinrandyvandy. That may not have been his full name either.
