Crappies have been real slow!
My brother lives on the north end and has his house on the north end in 50 feet of water where they usually bite good during February and he told me they have been catching a few but not hot and heavy!
I'll be up there on the 28th to remove my house and try to rip some crappie lips!
Also going crow hunting as it opens on saturday for the month of March!
Love shootin them duck and pheasent egg eaters!
Good Luck!!

The crappie fishing on osakis was excellent this last week throughout the north end. Check out the deep holes and look on Friday where houses are cause there are crappies will be there also. Last weekend my uncle and myself ended up catching 30 crappies over 12 inches with the biggest being 15 inches. This has been probaobly the best crappie fishing I've seen on the lake in 10 years. I'll be looking for less pressured fish as it seems the bite slows once a crowd shows up.

mostly they were caught on waxies and secondly really small crappie minnows what I like to call pinner minnows. They seem to start biting about 2:00p and increase into the evening.

Anything going over the weekend? Haven't had alot of time to get out this winter but I'ld like to try the Big O for the last trip of the ice year. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks.

[joneshat11]

work coonhovens bay on the north end in 34 feet of water! Its no secret anymore as last weekend there where about 50 portables there on Saturday. Use waxies and euro larva to get the most action and set a second line with small minnows. The bite doesn't get going intill after dark so work deeper water to get a daytime bite.

PS its not fun cleaning after the @**holes that leave beer cans and trash!!

You know? a few years back it seemed things where turning around as far as the trash goes. BUT, the last couple of years it seems to be as bad, if not worse than ever! What's the deal?!?!? I think some serious peer presure is in order. Any one leaving BLEEP out on the Ice, or on the open water, should be forced to take it home in their teeth! Thanks for the info too. I apprietiate it greatly! Thanks, jim
