Lake Namakagon is an excellent Panfish lake…Both med to large gills and crappies. Just fish bass on Owen….never even thought about panfish there but nice weeds and deep water….Should be bigguns…
It’s been about 10 years but we used to get decent gills out of Owen. The only problem was they all had the black spot stuff on their meat. There is a ton of other lakes that at times all seemed to be good for crappie and gills. Not sure on your rig but a lot of the better ones had sand landings that were for the smaller boats.
