Michell Report

[Shack]

Lake michell today was about 24 inches thick of ice. I was

in about 28 feet of water and found school's of crappies

and sun fish 1-4 feet off of bottom. Using video camera.

though fish were small, clouds of them. south east access

good for cars and trucks. You can drive anywere, but not

by channel. Around 4:30 p.m. all sun fish and crappies

cleared out and i found a large norther pike eye balling

my cam. Shortly after sunset, larger crappies coming

through around 2-4 feet off the bottom (25-23 feet).

I had the kids with, so I left around 7:00 p.m. Fish

were coming through on finder ever 3-5 minutes as we

were leaving. Went to old Milc on Sat. Started in cove and

ended up in Sunset. Only one eal puoght. Hope I spelled

correctly. Good luke out fishing.

allways rember,

Well hit Michell Around 7:00 p.m.. Some people leaving and

some just getting their. Reopened holes from yeterday ( I know this dulls the blades) set up shack and was fishing

by 7:10. from then till about 8:30 alot (6) of smaller

crappies. The brother in law showed up around then and

things died down till about 9:30 and we got three more

(biggest of the night). Stayed till about 11:00 and went home. Did catch later fish about 10' under ice in 28' of water. Useing micro rigs and smallest minnows. No bobber

work well when i fisrt got their. Going to independance

or milacs in a.m., will report on correct region after

we get back. I rate michell/big lake a steady 6-7 on a

scale from 1-10 for crappies.

Have fun,

Went out to Mitchell tonight. It was a death march getting out their. DEEP SNOW! Drove out of access a little ways and turned around. Went to north side, dropped shack off at shore and parked up by condo's. Walked our azzes off until we dropped in at 17'. Had some action on graff at bottom, but no fish to be had.

Brother in-law did catch bull head. Had some bits and called it quits around 10:45 p.m.. This will be my last post of this ice fishing year from Mitchell. Look at pics and see how slush is. Lotsoffish was right! Never mind the weird bobber in first hole. Something I tried right before we left. Will report next year. Note the five inches of slush you have to walk through.
