3 foots deep... yikes.. thats shallow fishing...

This is going to be a very new expierience for me, as I have never fished a river backwater while standing on ice!... I really hope to pick up a few tips from Crappie Tom and Matt Johnson... as well as trying to adapt things that have worked for me on lakes and apply them to backwaters... Should be a ton of fun...

Waxies were the common bait as were eurolarve and spikes. Some nice perch on crappie minnows aere also taken.

There was a local dude that made his own rods. They were pretty unique as the line went through the middle of the rod blank. It came out the tip and then went through a spring bobber. He taught school down there, out fishing everyone at least 5:1. He had a little black ant type jig tipped with a waxie.

Are you thinking about heading down there to try it out?

Sounds like a good time--I wish I could have made it. Hopefully next year I'll get to meet some of you guys.

Hey Juggs,

Fishing was excellent! We had a steady bite all day with mostly smaller perch and gills. I did see a 14" and a couple 12"+ crappies. Also a few perch that went around the 10"-11" size. Also I saw a couple of rock bass crossed with a sunnie. I heard someone call them shellcrackers and I heard someone else call them warmouths. Different looking thats for sure.

Good to hear. I fish that area a lot but haven't been to Pontoon in a while. My first year there was great, especially at last ice.

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year
