Crappies

[Weathertite]

Hey Guys , Just wondering if anybody is finding any Crappies yet ?  Thanks Mike

We had some folks last weekend that went scouting around to the smaller lakes in the area and were able to reel in some limits of some real nice slabs, got a few photos on our fb page.  They also had some sunfish in the mix, but not limits like the crappies caught in the afternoon hours.  None off Blackduck Lake that I've heard of, a few folks have started to walk out.  Someone tried to drive their vehicle out last weekend on the Duck and ended up getting pulled off.  Way to early to drive out on the lakes with a vehicle!

Weathertite, on the smaller lakes in the area it's approx. 4 to 6", I've got guys out on the lakes tonight that aren't back yet.  Didn't get the chance to get out on Blackduck to check today, hopefully tmorrow.  Plus we have a full house this weekend  & it sounds like folks are going to be spreading out to the different lakes in the area, so we should get some thickness reports. The colder temps have finally moved in for  the next couple of days & should help add a couple more inches.
