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!

Minnows
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.

My one fish, Little accidental pike that shook off at the boat. Couldn’t find the crappie after the cold front. They were not shallow or spawning. Water just couldn’t get above 50 degrees even in shallowest sunniest areas so I think cold front had just enough effect to make hunting difficult.

Water temps are still pretty low. With the rain, it should warm up the water some more and send the crappies into the shallows. It was windy and sprinking a bit. The Blackfish Torrent rainsuit blocked out wind and the drizzled.
