Spring crappies in Grays Bay

[jeffyo45]

Just wondering if anyone knows if Grays Bay is a good place to target spring crappies? If it is where are they? I had good luck during hard water on the North Arm of Tonka. Is that a good place to target spring crappies? I figured it would be since it is one of the northern most points. One last questions. Do the crappies bite during the day in the spring on Tonka? Any thoughts anyone has are appreciated.

Yup you sure can find them in Grays...Try the deep holes on the north and south sides, and in front of, and in, the shallow lagoons.

Crappie it's not just a fish it's a attitude!

My sons and I have canoed into the boat channels on Gray's Bay shortly after ice out for Crappies. There is a narrow window of opportunity but if you hit it right you can fish under the docks and boat lifts and get some good ones. We have had the dock owners tell us that we were fishing private waters and had to leave. Don't believe them. According to state law, if you can float a canoe, it is navigable, therefore public waters, as long as you don't touch their docks.
