what's with the "stocked" rainbows or other fish ya'll talk about. I mean, we stock bream and other things around here at times, but unless they are tagged, you wouldn't know if they were stocked or not.
About the same here unless I hit the saltwater. My river is rising and you can't catch anything on rising water here. And like you said, everything is muddy too.
Dang, you like yourself some crank baits.
I do love a crankbait. They're good all year round in all water depths and just about any conditions. And they catch fish. I love 'em and I love the "bite" on 'em.
I love them. I've had them for like 15 years now and they just work spectacularly. The best part is the way the hook attaches to them. You can't really tell in the picture because it's all messed up but you don't actually harm the soft plastic of the bait by rigging it up. The hook attaches to a little plastic eye that you can pop in and out of different minnows. That one fish you see in the picture is probably 2 years old now and I've been using it, and a couple others, pretty exclusively in that lake. If you're fishing in less than 10 feet of water, it works better than anything else. It catches stuff when the rest of my tackle box won't.
