Rumor or fact "Big Crappies biting on Potato"!!??

[Avid Angler]

I heard on the fishing report that someone has been catching the slab crappies on Potato, but I know a friend that lives by Potato and there are no houses out there! So just looking for the truth!

Thanks!

I was up there last weekend and there were some houses in the West Arm, maybe they're catching em. Has anyone caught Jumbos out there? We used to catch em as kids, but now we only catch em every once in awhile.

I haven't caught any jumbo's this year, but I did catch a few last year. There are some really nice fish in Potato and man I wish I could get on it about fifty times a year. Maybe some day! I wouldn't doubt that they are catching them in the west arm, because that is where we caught them about seven years ago. We mounted five of those fish. They approached three pounds, but most were between 1 pound and a half and two pounds. I caught a few last spring out there, but not the really nice ones. Well, keep me posted if you hear of anything!

I'd like to find those slabs, never caught one in there. I've caught some real nice sunnies. It also has some potential state record Rock Bass. I've caught some that were pushing 2lbs but I didn't know the record at the time so I never weighed em.

I know of some guys that caught some 12"+ Crappies in the west arm in late Sept. a few years back. Haven't heard of anything lately. Can you get on the ice by that landing or is it openwater?

Nells,

As of Feb. 19 there was a little open water still running from the river. There were snowmobile tracks along the edge, but not enough ice for a vehicle!
