Where are the Crappies Biting???


Recommended Posts

So are any of you guys fishing on the Horseshoe Chain?? And are you catching any crappies? I tried a little bit earlier this week, but had no luck at all. I went down to the Cold Spring **** and caught a coupld of catfish, norhtern, couple sunnies, and about a 5 lbs Dogfish(fun to catch, but thats about it).. So, with that in mind, whats the word? Thanks a lot.

Coleman, you may be suprised at the water temps when you actually get on the lake. Very cool. It will take a couple more days like today to get the crappies going again. I did see a few in one of the bays I check on all the time. So a little more spring and things should get going again.ScottS

Granted it's been a few years, but one of my better crappie lakes was Goodners. Find the far northwest corner, or the far northeastern corner..in the old reeds and you should find some nice crappies. Another lake to try would be Browns. Long lake was good too.

Good luck.

Wow, you guys are right, the water is really cool. We put the dock in last weekend. Wow, good thing we had waiters. I hope the water warms up here pretty soon. I want some crappie action.

      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.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
