angel eye spoons with minnow head on them.

all you need is an auger, fatheads, crappie rod, 4lb line, icebuster, hook remover, tape measurer, camera, glow red jigging spoons & glow red demons for the deadstick. if i'm feeling really crazy i might bring a couple other colors of the same lures. i can fit everything i need in a small bucket. dont try to overcomplicate it, it's not rocket science! i think it's more about finding active fish than throwing every lure & presentation at em. it seems like there's nothing you can do to turn fish on up there. if they dont hit a glow red spoon, they aint biting. but that's just my .02, i havent fished up there a ton

very true im new to cating so just tryin alot of stuff atm to see what they will hit

+1 Fishuhaulik,

You could also check out the "cattin the chain" thread in the catfish forum, or maybe it is in the st cloud forum.

I couldnt give you any better advice than Fishuhaulik did . Trim the ice buster close so it just barely floats and watch it close, most days they are the lightest biting fish in the world.

I've fished up there more than my fair share and this is a pretty good list. don't forget the flasher though.
