Back to Basics: Crank Baits
The crank bait is one of the easiest lures to use to catch
bass. For most fishermen it's as easy as cast it out and reel
it back. For the serious fisherman, the crank bait is a very
effective tool almost all year.
Crank baits come in every size, shape and color. From pumpkin-
seed colors to shad and even bright oranges, crank baits have
their place in every fisherman tackle box. Spend a little time
working a crank bait under several conditions and they can be
even more deadly.
There are a few basic guidelines for crank baits. These are not
rules but guidelines.
Todays crank baits come with high quality hooks. These hooks
make the baits extremely deadly even in the hands of novice
anglers. Get the baits close to the fish and they would come
after them getting the hooks every time. Even if the fish
jump out of the water the hooks will hold better than the
first generation of hooks. The lure is usually equipped with
at least two sets of extra sharp treble hooks.

Illuminating Pen Set</a>
Colors are as varied as the rainbow. Start out with clear baits
in clear water. Use the shad colors and blues and silvers. In
stained or muddy water use orange, chartreuse and blacks. The
crawfish patterns are extremely effective in dirty water.
In clear water bass can see the lures very well. The lures must
the right color and size of the bait fish in the bass diet.
In stained or muddy water, bass cannot see the lure until it
gets right next to it. Bass will miss the clear colored lure
because they cannot see it as well. Crank baits are affected
by the size of the line used. To make lures run deeper and with
great side to side action go down in the line sizes to as small
as ten pound test. This will allow the lures no matter what size
to get to fish that are often missed by other anglers.
One of the best places to fish with the crank baits are points.
Next trip, sit on the point in shallow water and cast crank baits
out. This will get baits to fish that may have never been bothered.
In the warm water, fish points that are long and gentle slopes.
In the cold waters, fish sharp drop off point close to deep water.

FISHING JOKES CORNER
------------------------------------------------------------
For many years, a warden had been trying to catch an old
fish poacher but had been unsuccessful. Finally, after he
had retired, he asked the old man if he would take him out
fishing. The next day the ex-warden shows up at the dock
fishing gear in hand and was suprised when the old man
showed up carrying only a gunny sack. The old man motors
out to a good looking spot, anchors, then reaches in the
bag and pulls out a stick of dynamite. He lights it,
throws it in the water and after it goes off, scoops up
the fish with a net. The ex-warden is furious and starts
yelling at the old man. The old man calmly lights another
stick, hands it to the ex-warden and says "Did you come
out here to fish or talk?"
[Thanks finalanswer for the joke]
