Crappies were finicky in the open basin but finding them in weeds was another thing. Individuals or pairs were hungry and took 1/32 Clam Pinheads with and without a minnow head. A ML32 St. Croix Custom rod with 3lb Seaguar is a must to detect the bites. Still plenty of ice measuring from 16 to 20 inches. Fish were between 9 and 13 inches. The best bite was an hour from 7pm to 8pm and shut off.

Ice out Crappies are so fun when you locate them. We first made a sweep of the lake using side imaging looking for any remaining green weeds. This lake in particular had no weed growth so we started working the bottom edge of the break-line. We located a school of crappie using Side imaging then went to work using forward facing sonar. The fish were a little lethargic to where we had to switch to light jigs, minnows, and a rocket bobber set up. The best technique was to cast upwind of the school and let your jig/minnow drift over top of the school letting the waves do the work. A key part in detecting the bite was by using a light jig (1/32oz) no added split shot weight. This light set up would let the rocket bobber lay on its side. When a crappie hit the presentation they would stand the bobber up indicating he was there. Open water season is here!
