Ripple?

[hip_hop_fisherman]

Can anyone tell me how to get there and any tips on locations to try on the lake? Been some reports at the bait store here in Mora about a good crappie bite. A little bit of a drive, don't want to go blind!

I usally fish it once a year. Can't remeber excat way to get there. My way would be way different from yours anyway.

You will see where most guys are fishing and that would be a good start. That whole area is pretty good and theres lots of room. You basic crappie fishing tricks will work. Jig waxie or maggie. Thats what I prefer. We caught crappies and sunnies all day. One thing over the last couple years is the size has gone down hill.

Thanks for the help! It's greatly appreciated! Found a guy who's been there before thats gonna take me up. Will post results. Thats the most promising lake I've heard thus far from the guys and the bait shop here in Mora. The lakes close by have been a little slow for the pan fish.

Yo,Hip Hop!Where are you from?Just wondering cause I live by Knife Lake and it seems as though you fish the same area as I do.Let me know how you do up there?

[hip_hop_fisherman]

I live right in Mora across the highway from bp, coborn's etc. by five star auto. Heading up the ripple at the moment, will probably hit up a near by lake tomorrow. There is a few advantages to being laid off in the winter

Another victim of the lay-off thing huh?Same here,I guess we'll just have to suffer till summer assuming your in the construction business also?Let me know how ya did up there and maybe we can hit a lake together?

[hip_hop_fisherman]

Did alright, got three pike on tip-ups in the first ten minutes then things slowed down. Crappies were tough, marking plenty of suspended fish but they didn't want to grab hold, they just wanted to follow the jig. I'd definitly take the time to travel back up though.

where were you fishing on Ripple? I have fished the lake many times but only in the summer. Mike

We had to really fish hard last year for the crappies to. Maggots and a Genz pounder or fatboy with maggots. That did the trick for us. I think we hit it last year after alot of people pounded it. But we did some exploring to, and caught fish.

That's good that ya caught some fish!Thanx for the report hip hop!It's gonna be makin ice in the next few days!

I'd like to help you out as to where we fished, but I'm not exactly sure. I had never been there before, and we didn't head out from an access, I had a buddy that knew someone out there and we headed out his back yard. Wish I could help you some. We could only get the crappies to bite on the smallest jigs we had in the box with waxies. I've seen limits coming back from there though, guess we just didn't hit a good bite.

If you figure out where you were let me know. I could let you know where the rock pile is and a couple other good areas. Mike

[hip_hop_fisherman]

I believe it must have been on the southern part of the lake, don't know how big the lake is/bays, etc. It was $5.00 to go out, just put money in a little box. Off of cty. rd. 90.

[Mike89]

most likely was the south side. there are a couple points on that side and some good drop offs. The rock pile is a long ways from there. I'm going to try and get over there after the first of the year. Happy Holidays to you!! Mike

[hip_hop_fisherman]

If you get out there, let me know how you do. I'm going to focus on the lakes closer here to Mora in the next week to try and decide where to put the permanent. Good Luck and Happy Holidays!
