They were biting very good, but I haven't been out there since last week. The key for me was get away from the crowd.

Sorry can't help you much there.. I caught fish shallower and deeper then 10 feet. The deepest I fished was 13 if i remeber right and 6 or 7 for the shallowest, but the majority of fish were caught in 9 to 12 foot range.

Was out this past weekend. The bite is a lot slower then what it was. Did manage to catch a couple nice crappies. Was in about 10 feet also.

I am thinking of heading out there tonight or tommorrow. Anyone been out there lately? How is the access are you still able to drive out there easily? I am thinking this weekend and next week should be good once the water and slush refreezes.

I haven't been out there yet this year. I also haven't heard anything about the lake lately and I guess i have just been catching enough fish everywhere else. That i havent tried it but now i'm thinking i will have to head over there sometime this week. I will let you all now what i find out there.

Fished there yesterday and I would say definatly give it a shot this weekend. Lots of little perch to hold you over until the evening/night bite starts. Than you should be able to pull in some nicer fish. I was fishing in 8 to 9 feet and had 14 to 15inchs of ice.

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      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.
