Stanchfield had a bad winter kill a 2 years in a row a couple years ago. The bigger crappies will take a hit and the keeper gills as well, but every bait shop around knows about the bite on Long Lake as well. When I ask they tell me that is the place to go. However if you live in Cambridge Skogman did well for my cousin today. He and his kids took a nice batch of crappies home for a fish fry. Ann Lake by Zimmerman also has a bite going on for Crappies and Gills. 

Best Walleye bite is on Mille Lacs and it is hot bite. Lots of walleyes!! Don't forget about the perch. 

Good Luck this weekend

Moose, I have a question for you. You make reference to Ann lake by Zimmerman. I know where Ann lake is on 47 but was not aware of an Ann by Zimmerman.

It is west of Zimmerman just south county road 4. Also by Sand Dunes State Forest.

I just came from long lake... WOW!!##  Never seen so many people on that lake.  12" of ice and 100 + poeple out there already and tons of trucks ice castles. ..  NO WAY!  I doubt the bite will be on tonight.  Francis lake busy, blue lake not so much.... Green busy and Poor Baxter has had non stop amounts of poeple.  Ice fishing is popular Tonight:D

Got into some gills and crappies today. 15 feet was a right depth and plastics ruled for quality, but live bait got big numbers of 4-5 inchers. Just took some pictures of ones that were going in bucket for some fresh fish for Grandma.

Also if anyone is thinking about get the clam drill plate it is an amazing tool to have. I cut over 40 holes on one battery.

Moose ... Nice eating fish ... I was out on Saturday and found a few on Green in 22 FOW.  We will have to get out one evening this week as the weather will be mild.

What kind of depth were you fishing in? Were they caught on minnow, wax worms, plastics?  Looks like you have good a fish fry coming. Congrats on the catch.

made it over to Julia on Saturday and enjoyed the afternoon of fishing but I forgot my rods and ended up helping some people cut holes and in return they borrowed me a pole to use.  needless to say the fishing was poor but a great day to be out on the ice.  One thing I couldn't believe is when I drilled the holes and found 9" of ice in all the holes I drilled yet people were driving full sized trucks pulling trailers around!  Better to check before you are driving out in the area!!!

Great stuff LewisMiller

@ozzie I have noticed the same thing and have not been happy when I tell them there is only 9-10 inches of ice.

Went to the lake gervais fishing contest yesterday with my daughter. She didn't get one but had fun. I got a 7lbs tiger muskie in 10 fow!!! First one through the ice for me! Didnt count in contest  as it was only legal specie's you could keep for contest, had to put it back. A 1.37lbs pike won it. Fun day on the lake anyway!!! Anyone going to Green lake contest next Sunday February 14?
