[QUOTE="Callem'In, post: 223935, member: 1222"] Yes quite often in blue plate land. Don't have to deal with pleasure boaters...... I find that large flats and shallow running cranks work best. Color is based off of moon phase (full moon or bright night = darker colors). I also painted some cranks black that work well with a bright night. I have also pulled in deeper basins running cranks about 5 to 8 feet above the thermocline can also produce well. I find that if you pull cranks over fish, I believe they can see the crank or baits shadow or outline and bite to investigate, But could be very wrong on this theory. [/QUOTE]
