What's the best place to catch some crappies from shore right now?

I think you'd do just fine about anywhere you go. I did well on Willow a few days ago. Kalmar is hot as well. I've got to believe gamehaven, CC Manor Pits, and Foster will have crappies relating to shore at this time of year. I might check one of those out tonight.

Silver Lake is putting out lots of fish as well.

Are the panfish currently spawning? They must be. I couldn't avoid catching them at Kalmar wednesday night. Everything I threw at them worked! Literally everything. I guessing I caught nearly 50 fish, 750 gnats and a tick.

Hey Ron,

Any size to them? The crappies that is... Not interested in the size of the gnats or ticks.

Took my kids to K7 last night and we caught over 100 in 2 hours. Crappies, sunnies, bluegills, and perch. All were smaller and released and all I did is take them off the hooks. Naked mini-mite cast from shore produced a fish on 95% of the cast. Looking to drag the canoe out there and fish deeper water soon. Word of caution- stay out of the tall grass, the ticks are thick. We have been picking them off since we got home.

Nice report Fish Hammer. It's a blast out there.

I think a canoe would be a blast out there and I'd like to try it as well sometime. As far as finding deeper water goes, its only gets maybe 10' most of which is near the dike and can be reached from shore (I know this from ice fishing out there). Good Luck and thanks for the report

BTW, Welcome to FishingMinnesota.com

      As crazy as that might sound, May 18th isn’t a bad guess.  We were on the lake yesterday and had somewhere around 30” of solid ice with some snow on top.  This is hard January-type ice.  No honeycombing, no chipping or slush.  In fact, my Dewalt hammer drill couldn’t take it.  It’s dead.   Another foot of snow on the way this week?  That won’t help.

      Try the area where Minnehaha Falls runs into the river up to the ford dam. I've just used jig and fathead. Been several years since I've fished down there, but saw a lot of people shore fishing there. Pretty snaggy down there.

      Entries sure rolled in when I offered the case of beer.  We could meet at my Stuntz Bay boathouse if that would work.  Close to the landing, could anchor in front of the boathouse, or could park your vehicle at by the boathouse.  Maybe we could require the winner to be present, LOL.

      Thinking about trying pool 2 (from shore) for the first time tomorrow morning, ideally looking for walleye. Anyone know any decent spots or what kind of baits I should use?   Thanks in advance

      I know the owner.  In fact we rode snowmobiles together a couple days after the fire.  He lost most of his belongings.  Sounds like it was electrical.

      I drove by the spot I thought it was on the snowmobile and couldn't find it.
