Go my first crappie through the ice today!

[limeyangler]

Had an hour spare today, thought it would be nice to go for a ride on the snowmachine again....and of course take my rods with me

 

My time restrictions dictated my venue choice and i opted for a spot on Lake Wabigoon around a 15 minute sled ride from the house. I went here a month or two ago looking for crappie but was unsuccessful....I PUT THAT RIGHT TODAY!

 

Only one crappie, but it proved that the ones that i catch in spring are there now.....nothing more fancy than a 1/8 jig and medium minnow did the damage....and it was a 13" slab....NICE!

 

Will be heading back there Friday to try a few different depths to see if we can locate a bigger concentration of them.....here's the Vid

Nice slab there Simon

Another species you got to figure out I think it's just a matter of time before you get into a school of them...... not that there 's not that many fish up your way LOL

 

Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work
