- In this video I am trolling crankbaits for crappie on the lower end of Truman Lake. The air temperature started out at 77 degrees and climbed into the mid 90's. The water temperature was 83 degrees. Everything was hot, including the crappie fishing.

We have had great luck running crankbaits right along side of our jigs. We use 3oz. weights to keep the jigs down at the accelerated speeds needed for the crankbaits. Works like a charm especially on the deeper crappie. Thanks for for the great videos Mr. Baker.
Great idea. May have to try it.
I love to long line fish in the summer also...catch everything on that technique. Great video, keep em coming! 😊
Mike I remember coming across your very first video right after you posted it a few years back and just fell in love with trolling crankbaits for crappie. I set my boat up and started pulling crankbaits that same day. I've been pulling crankbaits now for several years watching your videos and I've got some great crappy and I just wanted to say thank you for posting these videos not only in my neck of the woods so I can see what structure you're fishing but also to help me learn about proper techniques to catch these fish. I've had a lot of success so thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! Glad the videos have helped. Great way to fish.
@@MikeBakerVideos it truly is. It's a lot of fun. I've tried it in all the local lakes from Stockton to Blue springs lake and I've had success with it.
Thanks for the crankbait trolling video, it is my favorite way to fish. I love the fact that. you show and do not edit out, when you get hung up or have the day to day problems that we all experience. Great job/video as always....thanks Mike!!!!
Another great video, Mike! I really enjoy your enthusiasm and honesty…not many professionals would show themselves dumping a rod overboard!
I sure do enjoy your videos! They're RAW and shows how it REALLY is when fishing! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Mike! We fishermen know that “stuff happens”, especially when you are doing everything by yourself. I always enjoy your videos , keep them coming!
I bought a few baits a few months ago at bass pro I found that a. Rapala. DT 6. P G S PERAL GRAY SHINER CRANK BAITS WORKS VERY VERY WELL IM TROLLING 5 AT A TIME A COUPLE ON PLANER BOARDS. I ALSO USE BANDIT CRANK BAITS BUT THIS LITTLE BAIT KICKS BUT . THANK FOR YOUR SHOW .
Love that you are keeping it real. We all have had times when cranking when things don't go smooth. I have been there done that with hang ups. Proper setting on the drag helps keep things so I can keep moving forward with the rest of the baits out until I can attend to the one that is hung up on a tree or the bottom.
Great vid, Bake! Keep em coming!
Great video Mike! Keep them coming sir!
As always, another great video Mike. You did show us today that you have reflexes like a Ninja when you saved the rod overboard. LOL
Enjoyed the video, looking forward to more cranking and long lining videos both! Oh yeah, good job saving that rod! 👍
Great video. I am new to trolling but we really enjoy it.
Another great video
Thanks for the real time video
Are those bandits
Yes.
Your videos are awesome! Camera work is great too. And the fishin is real.
Bring em on Mike!!!!!
Another fantastic video Mike! I troll using the line counter reels with braided, but really enjoy watching your techniques and tactics! Video quality is always exceptional!
How much line do you pull out on braid? I generally use 8lb MR. Crappie.
@@DAWSONDRUMMER1 depends on the depth you are trying to achieve. I use the Precision Trolling App on my iPhone for the particular bait I am using. For Bandit 300s, 55 feet of 15/3 braid is about 13 feet. Just depends on your thermocline in the summer and the depth you are trying to achieve. On crank baits, amount of line out has much more effect on depth than it does on long lining jigs. Speed, I run between 1.5 and 1.8 depending on what the fish are wanting that particular day.
We live on Lake of the Ozarks at the 73 mile marker….. I would love to fish with you sometime and learn some of your methods
Great video Mike. I had never fished for crappie with crank baits before but now I'm hooked. I fish pomme mostly and the last 2 trips out I have done quite well trolling cranks. Thanks for all the info. I wish you would do a video on pomme. Have a great day man
Thanks for watching!
@@MikeBakerVideos thanks again Mike. Sunday I took my hard core bass fisherman dad out to pomme to do some crankbait trolling for crappie. We had a blast and caught several nice crappie. He couldn't believe you could catch them on crank baits. I think i got him hooked on it now.
Great video Mr Mike, Id love to stay and talk but I got some crankbaits to tie on.
Thanks John! Go get em.
👍👍👍
Mike, what brand of trolling rig/rod holders are you using in this video? I really like it, especially the handy flat table in the center. Please keep making your very interesting and educational fishing videos.
It is a Driftmaster trolling rack. I made the table out of a cutting board.
@@MikeBakerVideos Thanks, Mike.
Great video as always, how can I buy one of those mounts for the seats? ,if look like it was very sturdy.

Miss your pulling crank videos! Can you do a cooler water deep water troll?
Love your videos. How deep are those crankbaits running at that speed
18 to 20 ft.
Thanks for sharing the video I've tried a little of this it really does do a good job would like to know a little more about your rod holder setup and where could I get one
Driftmaster.
Thanks so much for your help I appreciate the channel I've learned a lot keep up the great work
Super video, learn something new each time I watch one of your video's. Question for you, I notice on the crankbaits you have a Red treble in the front and a Black in the rear. Is this something that helps when trolling?
I think so.
Another great video! What angle rod holders are you using? Looks like 0 degree on the two outside and maybe 45 degree on the others?
Correct.
Do you ever use the black back silver belly. Seems to be my best 300
Yes. Caught a lot of fish on it.
Mike, do you not have trouble with brush and trees under water? The lake I fish I have to use braid because of all the under water trees. If I use mono I lose many crank baits.
Sure, I lose some from time to time.
Hi Mike, my wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. You have taught us allot. We were wondering if you can recommend a nice place to stay on Truman Lake? We have never been to Truman but we are planning to fish that Lake as soon as we can. We live in St Louis and would love to find a place preferably with a dock if they are allowed up there. Looking forward to your next video.
Warmest Regards
Chris & Dianne
It is a Core lake so there are no private homes on the lake with Docks. You will probably want to look at an Airbnb or hotels in Warsaw or Clinton Missouri.
@@MikeBakerVideos Thanks Mike.
How do you like those chairs versus the traditional cushion chairs just wondering I have back issues also it seems like it's easier to kick back and lean back on those that you have
They are comfortable and much cooler in the heat.
@@MikeBakerVideos thanks mike!👍
Some poor guy ended up with a whole spool of line and a crank bait in his trolling motor later that day...🤣
I actually retrieved it later. Made another pass and the crank bait went floating by. Snagged the line.
I enjoy your videos! I started using this trolling technique on lakes in Oklahoma with success. I've been eating more crappie lately! Do you have any problem keeping lines from tangling? I seem to get a lot of crossed lines. Do you scan areas looking for specific structure etc. in the summer time?
I do not have much trouble. Make sure your baits are tuned and running straight.
I usually side scan and look for fish before I troll an area.
Thanks! I'll check my baits.
Hi Mike, man I sure have been enjoying your videos. Listen, I'm up here in the Pacific NW, Washington State, and I'm near a lake called Lake Sammamish and it has crappie , but it's a big lake , so where do I start as far as trying to locate, target and land some of these bad boys?
Thanks in advance for your time
Would be hard for me to say Chuck. Too many variables and I know nothing about that lake. Throw out some crankbaits and start trolling in different water until you find them. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Okie dokie, I'll give er a shot and I'll be sure and keep you posted. Mike thanks 👍🏾
Mike I’ve learned so much from watching your videos , can you tell what storage box your putting your bandit 200.300 in I’ve searched all over but can’t find the one where hooks are on the underside of divider.please
I bought them at Tombstone Tackle in Columbia,Mo. some time ago. Can’t remember the brand.
Anyone know what Mike does for a living? I need to find a better job that can afford me to buy nice things.
Yeah me to !!
I’ve fished crank baits before and they don’t really get to proper depth. I noticed all you do is throw them out. Does the water pressure from trolling just pull them down to desired depth?
Any crank bait will run at a certain depth depending on the shape of the bill, line size and speed. I usually run Bandit 300's with 8 lb. line at around 1.6 mph. With that set up they will run about 18 to 20ft. deep.
Would you ever think about coming to table rock lake in Branson Missouri and shooting a video sometime?
Sure.
Could you make a list of bandit 300s must have in box? I'd appreciate it
Really too many to list. I show which ones I use the most in my crankbait videos.
I know you’re using Mustad Triple Grip hooks on the bandits, but what size front and rear? Thanks, I need to change some out.

Nice video, how deep are the crankcase diving?
18 to 20
@@MikeBakerVideos wow, I didn't know that the crank baits dove that deep. Thanks
what is the speed you prefer for trolling crappies
1.6 is my confidence speed.
What degree is your rod holders
Not sure, but they are adjustable.
why didn't you use your planer boards this trip
Didn’t need them.
Is it time to pull crank baits in 2022?
yes!
@@MikeBakerVideos ty sir
Do you ever guide?
Sorry, no.
I use reels with line counters. How far would you say you cast your crank baits out for a reference?
60 ft? Never measured.
Just debating on weather or not to use line counter reels or regular baitcasters
Is it really that big or deal on the length of line or more about speed
@@DAWSONDRUMMER1 both. You have to have enough line for them to reach the depth you want and the speed has to be right to trigger the bite.
@@DAWSONDRUMMER1 use whichever you prefer. They will both do the job. I don’t use line counters unless I am trying to hit a certain depth. When I want the bait to hit it’s maximum depth I don’t need a line counter. I just cast it out as far as I can.
really? 6 lines? come on now....
Why does 1 man need 6 poles out? Sport fishing? No!
