Spring 2022
T
hat transition from dragging jigs, drop-shotting
and sometimes just holding a jigging spoon
motionless can make any angler squirrelly over time. As pre-spawn moves into post-spawn, anglers chomp
at the bit to trigger a cranking bite.
Bassmaster Elite angler David Mullins cranks from winter through spring as water temperatures start towards the 40s and head into the 60s. The wind is always your friend when cranking shallow cover, as stained water causes bass to hold tight to any hard object.
