If you notice, the reports of catches, the speed for pulling cranks has increased. Typically, when I start pulling meat and cranks. Meat usually is from .6 mph to 1.2 mph till around June. So when starting with both baits. I start at .8 mph and do "S" turns to find the best speed. Since the crankbait speed is increasing while meat speed is slower IMHO. Can make a night n day difference in catch rates.
