There's probably not a better crank bait theorist in the country. The big,
deep diving tiger, fished on heavy mono (like 25 lb big game) is

incredibly
good in nasty laydowns.

How to fish with lots of submerged trees
 
Some seasons, it seems like I get on a crankbait binge and catch a lot of
fish on them. Other seasons, I go for months without throwing one, much
less catching a fish on one.

I guess if the shad rap bite is strong in the spring, I get into crank
mode. This year, I don't recall catching a fish on a shad rap. It's been
all jerkbaits for me as far as hard baits are concerned. If I fish the
Hudson and/or Lillinonah a lot in the summer, I use cranks a lot there. But
I'm not fishing tourneys any more, and I don't go over to the Hudson much
with the little boat until the fall, when I can stay in the creeks. Not
sure why I haven't been to Lilli yet this year. Oh yeah... Champlain.
That's why.

Eric how do you like the Smartcast?

The MCSport store near me has them on sale for $99 I was thinking about
giving it a try.

I like it very much. The info it gives is so rich (beyond imagination
as a shore fishman.) It make me wonder why I waste so much time shore
fishing for nothing (since nothing is there).

Hi,

Thanks for all your help info.

I bought a trolling motor for my inflation boat and a Humminbird
Smartcast fish finder and went out fishing for the first time over the
July 4 weekend.

We got to a place where the fish finder find so many fishes
under/around an area with many sub-merged trees. And we saw 2 big
basses jumped out of the water. But everytime we tried, we always
ended hook the trees. And the boat kept moving by the water current
and I need to power the trolling motor to slowing move back.

I'd appreciate any help or pointers.

Eric.
