Anyone heard where they're catching the crappies on Washington and what size? I went out last weekend and caught around 14 sunfish right before the storm hit in Bakers Bay and they were all around palm sized.

have been doing well on crappies on w0a0shington on 3rd point in 20-25 fow with a little white jig and crappie minnow. this last week fish would bite very light to the point I didnt use any bobber,just jig,minnow and ultra-light rod.tried other jig,waxies and they just wanted small minnow.Going tommorrow a.m.hopefully they will be a little more aggressive.Most suppende about 5 feet off bottom. Good luck.Size has been from 8-13.5 last 2 times out.

bobbert, Here you want people to give you there info on lake washington but on your other post today you want people to kiss your a__ and you might give them the name of your hot walleye lake. I don't think so! If your walleye lake is so good, why don't you stay there?!?

Hey u don't have to get smart about it. I also told people were I was catching sunfish. And you don't know why I want to catch crappies either do u. 2 of my little cousins want to go out and catch some fish so I thought it would be nice to catch some panfish other than sunfish because the bite turned off for me.

Dito to James walleyes post, looking for fishabe structure and finding fish where no one else is fishing is, really a ego builder, you have bragging rights. but only after you fished it a few times, share with someone, the crowd that gathers will chase the fish out of that area and you can look for another one, thats just part of the game.

LEE, you said your crappies were 8-13.5'', was that mostly 8-9 inchers and 1 13.5'' or are you catching 10-12''ers too? Fished yesterday off third in 32 ft. caught 12-15 crappies, all about 8.5-9.5'', 1 that was 10.5''. lots of fish marked, very picky though. Just curious, any info would be great. how did you do this morning? thanks

DID PRETTY BAD TODAY. STARTED AT 6+.30 AND FISHED TILL 10.00 ,CAUGHT 7 CRAPPIES WITH THE SMALLEST BEING 7AND TH

E BIGGEST BEING 11.5. FISH WOULD NIBBLE THE FIRST TWO HOURS AND AFTER THAT NEXT TO NO MARKED FISH.USED SMALL JIG IN WHITE AND GREEN WITH SMALL CRAPPIE MINNOW.

WAS IN 24 FOW AND MOST MARKED FISH WERE 6-8 FEET OF THE BOTTOM. ITHINK WE NEED SOME WARM, STABLE WEATHER. LOST MORE THAN I CAUGHT TODAY,MOST I GOT UP ABOUT HALF WAY AND THEN THEY SWAM AWAY. AVG. SIZE TODAY WAS APPROX 9 INCHES. TRIED IN BAKERS BAY LATTER AND THAT WAS EVEN WORSE THAN THIRD POINT. I THINK IM GOING TO TRY A ALL DARK TRIP AS THATS WHEN IM HAVING BEST LUCK. WITH A LITTLE LUCK COULD MAYBE HOOK UP WITH SOME REAL GOOD AGGRESSIVE FISH,THEY HAVE ME FOOLED.

Did okay today, 6 bluegills and a crappie in the middle of all those people off the north access. Only spent like 2 hours....Started off by that little grass island but after nothing I moved in by the group. Want to do it again tomorrow but I'm tired, the Vikings are playing, and its an hour drive for me.

Anyone else who enjoys some panfish action, take teh kids out. Plenty of ice to drive on.

i was going to fish on the north access (third point) but i dont think my little 2 wheel drive s-10 would have made it back onto shore as the ice is piled up by shore the 4 wheel drives look like they were having a hard time getting back up so we fished bakers but didnt have much luck but had fun nonethe less

I fished the last 2 days off 3rd point in 29ft. Marking lots of fish, but boy are they finicky. Caught 15 or so today but had many more that just wanted to look. The fish I did catch were all pretty small. I have the most success using a small jig with a treble hook and a minnow head. An ultralight rod seems to help since they bite so light. I leave a whole minnow down on the other rod, but it's pretty much ignored. If these fish ever get hungry it could be a lot of fun, even though they are small.

Has anyone caught any walleyes off 3rd pt? I'm assuming they are shallower since I haven't had many big marks on the Vex. Good Luck everyone!

I was out 1/6 and was fishing between 3 rd point and 1 st group of houses coming on from north public access and was in 17 fow and picked up a 27" walleye that is still swimming. Fished from 2-6pm. Using orange rocker tipped with fathead

Was out on Bakers on Saturday and caught 40 or so sunnies, 4 crappies, 1 perch. Kept 12 sunnies, 3 crappies.

Was in about 18 feet of water using a fat boy and wax worms. All 4 crappies were different sizes and started hitting about 4:20 or so.

Did see maybe one walleye on the camera, but I saw it tooooo late to tell if that is for sure what it was and only saw part of the body as it was lower then my camera was set for.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
