Crappies were stacked. Multiple doubles and triples. No really size but fun way to take a group of first timers out. Clam Pinhead pro tipped with a minnow head did the trick.

First ice and Last ice is the best fishing, with the temps rising and the snow melting it is bringing oxygen and warmer water into the shallows,. Locate a shallow area and use your camera to find green weeds. Drill out the area and I have been Using My Garmin live to stay on the fish.It is better to have the holes drilled to not spook them in the shallow water. Drop down and use a bouncing action on the jig, if they don't hit right away play keep away with them by pulling away very slowly. Tip the jig with a waxie or a Maggot or a plastic. Good Luck!

Points
This lake takes on a vast amount of pressure during the spring and summer months from anglers to water enthusiasts, however if you managed to stick it out until the fall season, this lake has a tremendous upside. focus on fishing main lake points and shallow flats with crankbaits at moderate to fast retrieve. Texas rigged senkos also produced a number of healthy fish as well

Points
I mainly fish from the West Side but tried to see what I could find coming from the north. Check Navionics for structure. I stayed between 15-20 feet working points and steep drop-offs into flat basins and found perch. I would use a rattling spoon to call them in tipped with wax worms. Today they didn't want to bite so I sized down to a tungsten jig. After trying several other colors (white, motor oil, and green pumpkin) I was able to start catching them on a pink plastic.

Started fishing at sunrise. Used plastics only by Hawg Pourz. Did try to use waxies but was frustrated that they kept getting but off so I switched to plastics only and they were still biting. After catching limit I switched up baits and tried jogging with the smallest acme hyper-hammer and the crappie were surprisingly biting on it. Also used a northland buckshot with a clam silkie on it and that produced as well.

Drill out a flat in 8’-12’ of water find green weeds. I like using the Strikmaster hand auger with a battery drill adaptor, they are light and fast. Drop you jig down and bounce it off the bottom a couple times and pull it up about a foot and keep jigging slow. Watch your electronics and if you don’t see anything in 3-5 min move to the next hole 15’-30’
