So far mine has been pretty good. I have caught some nice walleyes when I have targeted them and also some big sunnies.

I havent been on a real hot crappie bite yet and I hope to change that this weekend. So far no northerns to brag about. I suppose the biggest sunnie has been 11 inches and walleye right around 25.

Mine has been pretty much the same mostly eyes. I fish a lot around the Pelican Rapids area. The bite has really been up and down, hope to find a good crappy bite soon.

My season has been very productive so far! Nice combinations of gills, crappies,pike, largemouth bass,eyes and perch, oh the perch! I've been fortunate enough to fish all over so far this season, starting on Thanksgiving in the Detroit Lakes area and most of December as well. The end of December, I made a trip to LOTW and a week ago, I made my first trip to Devils Lake. I've had great numbers on all of my outings so far except for one but I wasn't expecting much that day anyway. This weekend will be making another trip to LOTW. Good luck all!

Catching lots of perch, sunnies, walleyes and a few pike and crappie thrown in. Just wish I was out more often.

I strictly chase crappies...quantity is down from last 2 yrs which were way above average to the 5 yrs previous to that. Earlier snow killed off the weeds sooner this yr than previous 2 yrs. I can say I have caught larger crappies this year but have had to find new water to do so and those have been backwoods places N of DL where very few travel and ponds are not even on Lake Maps. The normal crappie lakes I have fished in the past like Lida, Star, Franklin, Melissa have not produced as many crappies for me this year....maybe because I have not put in as much time there...but also because the pattern seemed to change with the early snow. I will say the previous 2 yrs were unbelievable and my pattern was shallow in green weeds for a while, then followed them along their way out to the basin for a couple weeks, then caught them in the basin till melt started, then followed them along their way back into the shallows during spring melt. That pattern has not been as prevalent this year for me....but still a ways to go and my favorite time is late, late ice.

Very happy with my season to date.

Iced many eyes but nothing huge.

Gills have had size and numbers also very good.

Crappie, iced some of the nicest sized slab's this winter in a long time.

1 bad outing for this winter out of probably 20 outings.

I hear yah leech I have only been once once so far this year. My kids are at the ages where it seemd like we are running to an activity pretty much every day, including weekends. And when I have had time the weather has just plain sucked...

I am glad everyone is doing well. I am sorry to hear that for you BB. But a friend of mine has also told me he has had switched his tactics to find crappies right now.
