Another cold front has stacked the fish up out on the ledges. 75% of the boats out deep are shaking a minnow which is absolutely a great way to catch them. However I have found if you do something different you can find a bite that hasn't been pressured. Cranking deep ledges on the river and in the creeks is a very efficient procedure that can yield excellent results. My crankbait setup is a 7ft 8 heavy action composite rod with a curado 200 6.3:1 ratio. I like to use 12lb fluorocarbon or copolymer line and I have about 1000 crankbaits but my favorites are a 6xd and a DT16. I have finished first or second in tournaments dozens of times using this method. If you are interested in fishing with a USCG licensed guide call 256-744-5185.
