A few of us guys are headed up to red lake for some of the famous crappie slabs 
and a few walleyes. We will be there Feb 16 – 18th. Any one else going to be up there? 
I was up there once last yr and didn’t have any luck? 
Any pointers? How far out? Last yr we tried 4.5-6 miles out. All i know is small jigs, small minnows and electronics. Well all have vexlars and one has a camera. Look forward to hearing from you guys.
thanks in advance.
You seem to be on the right track,one tip I will give is stay on the move cause you will find em.
After this weather….auger extension!

So just drive around and poping holes and if nothing there keep going? How long before you move? 30 minutes or so?
I have a clam 6800 and its a pain in the @$$ to move all the time.
Hope that the 10 day forecast stays partially true and hopefully you can find a few without setting up 100% and then go from there. We will be pulling a couple wheeled houses out a week after you. Our plan is to check out the bite on here, then DR’s in Kelliher, then Rogers when we pick up the shack. See if those three sources have anything in common to start with then move 1/4 mile every 20 minutes until we find the crappies and set up shop for a few days. 
Good luck.
two words “ice heaves” 
I’ll be up there the same weekend. If you want PM me and see where you plan to fish!

I’ll also be up that weekend. Going out of the Westwind on Friday afternoon.

I haven’t heard how far out every one is. Normally people say go out to the 5 mile marker and start there. Any word on where to start at? Ill shoot you a pm Jim.
I’ll be getting in touch with a few locals next week. I’ll pass along any pointers I get.
I am going that weekend also,maybe we could all hook up somewhere.As for how far out,I have been there 3 times so far and the fish we found a week before were gone the following week.Last weekend we were the closest shack to shore, hard to believe but thats the only place we found more than a few crappies.Definitly bring an extension!30 minutes per spot is about right,you will find em or you wont.
yep, me and woody will be there with 7 or 8 guys fanning out across the lake as best we can hopefully puttin the 
down on some crappies 
will pry start with the cords we have from the 3 previous trips this winter and go from there. hope to see ya out with a pile of slabs 
if not there’s always either way goodluck and maybe we’ll run into eachother. we’ll be runnin out of aggassize this trip but it always seems we have visit 2 ww a few times
Good luck mini, and thanks for the help with the #’s. Why don’t you forward me those cords and I’ll meet you over there for a . J/K, Good luck up there! We’ll be fishing of the WW road somewhere.
Well if anyone wants to hook up and or communicate on fishing send me a pm or email and we will swap cell phone numbers. It would be kind of nice having guys all over and that way we hopefully find them. Any of you guys use the 2 way walkie talkies up there. Mine are always on main channel 3 and sub channel 33 if you have them.

Well how did you guys do? I didn’t make it up to red lake. When we stopped at our secret lake by Cass, and we got our limit of crappies(30 for 3 guys)so we didn’t even bother to drive up to red. (6pm – 9pm) Hope to hook up with you guys another time.
