Mark Rose: The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Bit Deep Cranking
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
If you’ve ever found offshore bass but couldn’t get them to bite, Mark Rose breaks down what you’re probably missing. This is a deep-cranking and ledge-fishing clinic from one of the best to ever do it — how he fires offshore schools, chooses between crankbaits and other ledge baits, and adjusts when the fish won’t commit.
What you’ll learn:
• Why a deep crankbait triggers offshore schools when slower baits won’t
• How Mark fishes a Strike King 6XD from 6–20+ feet, including long-lining
• When to use a 10XD for bigger forage, deeper fish, bluegill, crappie, or gizzard shad eaters
• Retrieve changes that matter: speed cranking, snapping, pausing, grinding, and coming over the fish
• Mark’s crankbait setup: 12 lb fluorocarbon, 15 lb for bigger baits, EWG trebles, and double split rings
• Color rules for offshore cranking, including citrus, sexy shad, chartreuse/blue, clear-water shad, and root beer during the bluegill spawn
• When to put the crankbait down and switch to hair jigs, football jigs, Carolina rigs, spoons, worms, shaky heads, swimbaits, or scroungers
• How current, wind, grass, natural lakes, and forward-facing sonar change the offshore game
