Had a great day on the Croix Sunday. My brother and buddy came up to visit and ice fish. I live in woodbury and fsh croix a bit, but my brother found the right spot. Between 3 of us 30 some crappies from 9.5 – 13 inch range most in the 11 inch range. Oh yeah this sturgeon that took me for a ride for 20 min. The crappies were hitting only the minnow heads and had to be small minnows. I tip them on a diamond jigs. Colors I used were fire tiger in the morning, gold in the afternoon, and glow red in the early evening. They did not want a waxie at all. I was using a spring bobber cause it was a must. They were hitting hard early then sucking it the minnow head later. With out it would of missed alot of them. They were taking the jig upwards so you could see the spring bobber go up then you know to set the hook. I believe the best thing to do is stay away from crowds and explore. We drilled alot of holes to get these.
