Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - forgiven - 07-05-2017 Anybody use crankbaits at Cascade for perch? If so, what kind? [signature] Re: [forgiven] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - hooknhunter - 07-05-2017 Rapala. CD 7 or smaller. And the new ultra light series, the really small ones work well. [signature] Re: [forgiven] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - hooknhunter - 07-05-2017 When they work, they work well, but they don't always work. [signature] Re: [forgiven] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - sdhuntandfish - 07-05-2017 I have been doing extremely well trolling #5 and #6 Rapala Shad Raps. Many 50-60+ fish days. Very rarely does it not work. I caught them last summer/fall very well and it's worked well again this year over the past month or two. If you aren't catching them, you aren't on them. Move then move again.

[signature] Re: [sdhuntandfish] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - forgiven - 07-05-2017 Any special color shad rap? [signature] Re: [sdhuntandfish] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - JusJoshinYa - 07-05-2017 What method are you using to get down to your target depth? I recently added a couple downrigger's to my boat, but didn't know if that would be overkill. I know a lot of guys use lead core or just add split shot to their line. [signature] Re: [JusJoshinYa] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - sdhuntandfish - 07-06-2017 Lead core. Sufix 15 lb to be exact. I'm running a 25' Fluorocarbon leader to the lure. [signature] Re: [sdhuntandfish] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - JusJoshinYa - 07-07-2017 Thanks for the information. I don't currently have any lead core, but I do have some rules that I could run it on. I guess it's one more tool that I need to add to my box. [signature] Re: [JusJoshinYa] Crankbaits for Cascade perch? - AverysAdventure - 07-07-2017 I like to run 2" deep diving crappie cranks in perch after ice out. I don't use lead core but if you do make sure to run a long leader so you don't kill your crankbaits action. Andy has it figured out for sure. And here I thought I was the only one cranking for perch. [signature] |
