Seems like most fishing is done with topwaters, bucktails and recently bulldogs with of course jerk baits. There was a study a few years back that suggested that the deep fish are an untapped resource. Given the tough bite over the past 3 yrs, (the fish are still there) perhaps we should be throwing cranks off the weed and bar edges. I have only thrown em sparingly, when I come up in Sept, I may dedicate a day to them just to see.
