OutdoorDan Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I was originally planning to go for some back lake splake or lakers, but changed my mind at the last minute and decided to go for some crappie. Good decision! My dad and I landed about ~15 each. The lake we were on had about 3" of black ice with a couple of inches of white ice on top. Be careful, especially if you are going to hit up the larger lakes. Got a few nice ones: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I was doing the same thing last night. Lots of bluegills while the sun was high, then once dusk rolled around the crappie started going good until after dark. Lots of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have too much experience better to wait until you know people are getting out in good numbers. 4" of solid black ice is plenty but the problem is ice can be inconsistent and the current weather is not helping. As Sinclair said quality of the ice is important... 8" + can easily be unsafe if it's honeycombed in the spring... I was doing the same thing last night. Lots of bluegills while the sun was high, then once dusk rolled around the crappie started going good until after dark. Lots of fun! Yep, in this case was getting dink perch until it all turned around at sundown. Oh man,no back ground. LOL Nice fish.Great eats. Background bad!
