Measured about 14" of ice. Fished from 3-6pm off the bottom in about 20+’ of water southeast of the boat docks heading towards cemetary point. Hits were very, very light. Strike indicators and light lines were a neccessity. Iced 5 crappie and 1 perch, threw back 4 crappie(under 5"). LOTS of missed hook sets. Friend came out with his hummingbird and saw TONS of activity under water. Ratso w/waxworms, swedish pimples w/waxworms, ice flies w/waxworms, ratfinkies w/waxworms all produced some action. Hopefully the next outing in deeper water will produce bigger crappie. Was a good afternoon to see crappie on the ice, even if we threw most of them back for a second chance. We saw lots of fish try to take the bait. Now it’s a matter of setting the hook properly [:p]
Nice report thanks… I am looking at a possible trip up there this week. This will help a lot…![]()
You’re welcome I have a couple of friends hit the ice up there again this morning and the last report was quote: “Lots-o-fishy”. Not sure how many were kept or thrown back. Still haven’t seen pictures
but was told it was crappie heaven where they’re at. Good luck on your outing. Slay’m hard, Fillet’m good…
