Chow bags are on and fish are crushing the frog. Look for the reeds that have clearer water and cabbage mixed in. Fish are piled up in these areas.

On 11/27/21, there was 4" of consistent ice, but always take precaution and use a spud bar. On the east end straight out from the access crappies were roaming in 9-11 feet (mine were apprx 9-11" in size) and you had the benefit of setting up your tip ups in the nearby shallow drop offs with weeds for the predator action, as well.

So much bait in the lake right now. Key was finding bait over grass edges topped out at 10 to 12 in 18 to 20 ft. Throwing into the bait and pulling it through the grass letting it fall occasionally and watching them follow it out the edge and crush it on livescope. Absolute thing of beauty.

Docks
Fish are starting to make beds. Use your electronics to scan out in front of the docks and zig zag the flats looking for the colonies of nests. Once you find them, mark them and anchor close. Slip bobbers and/or casting small jigs past the beds and slowly bringing across them has produced a bunch of nice fish. Make sure to release the large male gills. They are the most important fish to maintain a large size structure in the lake.
