seekingwalleye, I was out on Chisago Lake Saturday and did pretty good on crappies. Didn't have a chance to fish South Center but saw a bunch of houses out there. Caught the crappies in 12 feet of water from 3-8pm.
Good Fishing, Matt.

Two weeks ago I got 20 crappies between 6pm and 8pm by pancake. Only kept 10. This local I spoke with today said in that group of houses by pancake they are getting crappies after dark. It's better during the week cause there is less noise on top the ice. Hope my info helps. Good Luck.

seekingwalleye, you might want to give the channel connecting Chisago and South Lindstrom a try. They're catching some small walleyes there right now. Maybe some bigger ones will come through? Might be worth a try as long as you're in the area.
Good Fishing, Matt.

Nick, I would try both sides but fish the side towards Chisago first. There are two accesses just north of the channel. Come onto the lake from the west access, it is closer. You don't have to go far. Once your on the lake look to your left and you should see a group of houses. Fish about 20-30 yards off the houses. Fish in depths of 10-17 feet.
Good Fishing, Matt.

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗
