The bite on the St. Croix River’s Bayport area keeps improving for crappies. A fairly consistent bite is occurring in the morning hours and to some extent in the last two hours of the day as well. The best news is the size of the crappies, overall size has improved and notably a good amount of 14” plus slab are being iced. Crappie locations remain over the deep basin in 36 to 38 feet and bobbers with crappie minnows is the best approach. Plain hooks or jigs are both working and some days the jig hooked minnow is a better presentation. Unfortunately walleye and sauger have not been mixed in at the usual rate. Trucks are driving on the ice and crossing the Andersen “Bridge”.
Keep catchin’
