Haven’t been there, but I heard the bite is good in the afternoon, unlike the usual after dark. Limits in 45 minutes on craps, ‘eyes pestering, and haven’t heard on the gators. I would like to go pops some holes myself in the next 2 weeks. My youngster would get a kick out of the size of them craps.
Yes the crappies are still around. This last week I have heard numbers of good reports coming from both Hillmans and Rogers. 18-20 inches of ice is about the norm. The best bite seems to be coming from 2 PM until dark. Again those glow red jigs seem to be a good choice.
The last post is accurate as it can be. It didnt really matter where anyone was fishing out there, everyone caught fish, some more than others. I dont think it mattered what you used or how you presented it as long as it looked like something good. The weather seemed to affect the bite a little on saturday however I heard quite the reports from people other than my group that had caught fish. Best bet would be to call one of the resorts before you head there.
