Horn Pond Cranking
I got my new KVD Cranking rod on Sunday right after the tourney. Today was the first chance I got to try it out. The wind was howling at a steady 15 mph with gust to 25. What other crankbait would I tie on first other than KVD 1.5 chartruese with black back. I threw that around for a bit. But I was thinking about drop offs. I know of a couple of places at Horn that has them. Just to the left of the ramp is one spot. I tied on a Bomber deep diving fat free shad. I was in 18 feet of water casting at the shoreline and dragging the bait down the drop. I could feel it bumping along the bottom when it gets slammed. I set the hook and then start thinking the fish missed it because I couldn't really feel it. It came out of the water like a missile. I swear that Larry thought he was a Sally. I got him in, snapped a pic and let him go. I got one more fish on a buzzbait and that was it. I really like the way that cranking rod feels. It's amazing how well things work when you have the right tool for the job.

Buff I'm still learning my way but if you plan on using cranks I'd suggest a rod designed for crankbaits. I just got a Quantum KVD 7'4. This series has 3 lengths. I picked the middle in hopes it would be versitile enough for shallow and deep cranks. So far so good

After the tourney I decided Horn wasn't such a bad place after all. You had yourself a nice little secret Evan

I don't know about that Jay. Maybe the demanding room mate. "We need money for the cable bill"

White Lightning is never far from my grasp but alas there was no jig bite to speak of
