"Slabs"


Recommended Posts

Where are the big slabs biting?
Horseshoe, Cedar Island, Eden, Browns,
Pearl, Big Fish??? Where?
I want to chase some this weekend, if I can't find them around here, I will be forced to visit Kelly at Upper Red again.

Good Fishin'

Why would you want to go back up to Red? Just so you can be ripped on by Kelly and the bunch for a week? J/K grin.gif I may end up going up there myself this weekend. The last week has been slow for me. I even made a trip out to Mille Lacs to meet some friends without much luck. Prior to this, I was doing well on a few different lakes in the area. The biggest fish I ran into were on Big Fish. Three of them were in the 13" range. I didn't keep any, so I can't tell you the exact size. We we fishing in 16' on a shelf that ran from about 11' to 24+. Found fish shallower, so never needed to go deep. I'm getting to know Cedar Island better and have been catching some smaller fish, but I haven't run into any slabs. Some friends of mine were out on Browns over the weekend without much luck. Eden and Pearl...your guess is better than mine. I'm from Sauk Rapids, so if I don't want to go as far and still want some action I have been doing well on Little Rock. The fish are all around the 8 1/2" inch mark. They are no slabs, but it's fun fishing when the weather is cooperating.

See ya on the water....

Skeets- I haven't been after slabs lately, but tonight is the night. I will let you know how I do. After a long week of not much fishing, I am ready for some good crappie action. I have been saving my "hot spot" for this occasion. I will keep you posted.ScottS

Kelly,
Your hot spot was very cool last night, we only managed to catch 5. All were nice size but the Vexilar was quiet most of the time.
We talked to other fishermen out there and it seemed like we were one night to late, nobody seemed to be getting very many. Friday and Saturday night apperently was alot better.
Oh well, there will be a next time.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      where's that place?   figured it out...

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Great news, thank Skunked
