Red's been doing good, but I'd throw some green glow and blue in the tackle box too. Good luck!

Funny how differnt folks have different colors that work. Although glow red has been a good color for me in the past. I have yet to catch a crappies on it this winter. Glow white, glow blue and plain white have been good colors for me this winter.

anyone ever try swedish pimples up there? I have used them at other lakes and they have worked well for crappies and walleyes. I use the smallest ones available.

Ya, I know a couple local guys who swear buy them and not only the small size try a #3 with a minnow head. They also attract 20#+ nothern.

I have just used them up at mille lacs this year caught almost 50 walleyes myself on them. The jumbo perch seem to love them too. When you say florecent green do you mean with a silver backround?

Thanks Darren! I think I got some of those in my box also. I just feel alot safer with trebil hooks! Lost too many fish on single hooks. Were you using full minnows?

The color was lime green.But more important than color was location,location,location. If you dont mark fish move.

full minnows and the bigger the better. small minnows the little perch would be all over it. the crappies would hammer it. they were very aggresive for us.

What time has the bite been taking place? I usually go with a group of guys that only like to stay out on the lake untill about 8 O'clock. I have been trying to talk them into staying later for a long time. I have caught alot of crappies between 10 and 3 in the morning. Anyone fishing all night? Or do they only bite during the day up there?

Jimmy I have found the bite to be best at sunrise this year. In 4 trips this year I have yet to catch a slab at nite.As a matter of fact the last two trips nothing at night at all.But when the sun hits the horizon.....BLUE

Thanks for the help guys! I am going up next weekend for our annual father son fishing trip, about 20 of us. I have only caught one slab in the past 2 years. I want to spend more time fishing then drinking up there for a change!! But, it's hard not to drink when you only catch one fish all weekend!!

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      SO.......you dont think the BEWARE OF WIFE sign is sufficient???? 😂😄   seriously.......i'm no help!!!!

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
