well thanks for all of the info you guys, i look forward to somr more rewarding trips. i’m sorry if i offended anybody by following them around. but i do hope that people understand that i too am like many other fisherman who just wants to catch fish for the joy of it. i myself do not like to be very close to people. but if someone wants to be near me i have no problem with that. thank you all for the help. i’ll be out on south center most of the time just to let you guys know.

well its true that alot of people on the ice will scare the fish away or make them not bite. but since i dont have any way of finding the structures of the bottom i tend to follow people around. i have a flasher but that is all.

sounds like that whispering bay will be the spot for crappies. has anybody notice that the walleyes in this area are small, or is it just me who is catching small ones. i released like a dozen because they were too small.

hey crappie chaser if you dont mind me asking how would you get to that whispering bay. i’ve been trying to get some walleyes all winter and so far ive got none.

hey man though lakes are freezing be very cautious. i was out on cedar and that chain of lake area and the ice was so thin i could not even walk out. so be carefull.

i was out on chisago at sunset point i think, where the water is 6 ft deep only. caught alot of crappies as soon as the sun went down. but not really any 14 inchers. during the day while there was still light i looked down the whole when the fish was not biting and saw a huge northern. it was probably 40 in at least. but the thing was not hungry. i put down a shiner and he just stared at it forever and left. that was about it.

thanks for the info, i was wondering where you are fishing for the eyes, i was out there last year a few times and did not see any. thanks.

sounds like you guys all had a good time, if you all dont mind i would love to join you guys somtimes too. if ish alot out on east rush too, but i would be fun to have some one to fish with. it sure sounds like everyone had fun.

hey dave i know you fish out on rush alot and i was wondering what time the resort opens. and if we could park there if we get there before they open there bait shop. thanks.

hey keith do the colors in your jigs make a difference. and would you say your jigs work better than those at the markets. i am wondering because i am interested in them too. what time would you say the crappies are most active accroding to your experience. thanks.

i have a eskimo 6″ hand auger. its red and used like 3 times.

how many eyes did you get last week, and around what time?

thanks, i was wondering how thick the ice is along the shore. and what did you guys use to catch walleyes. give me the detail on your trip there basically?

hey i was just wondering, would it be better to use a tip up for walleyes or would it be better to jig for a walleye? and which is better bait for walleyes, fatheads or suckers?

how far out do you have to travel to get to good fishing spots? i mean i dont really have a ATV or snowmobile.

can jumbo perches be found in the southeast part of Millacs in that hennepin state park area? or do you have to travel far out into the deep areas?

thanks to all of your advice and info. now i feel much better knowing more about the ice.

what part of the lake did you fish in? how often did the fish bite.

i was just wondering, where on rush lake did you fish. sounds really interesting, and how would you access that place coming from I 35? thanks man. oh yeah, did people catch any perch?

i wonder, since i dont really see people ice fishing on cedar, where are the good spots to fish. is nere the fishing pier good. and i wonder if that small brownie lake has any fish in there too.

i want to know the clsest acces coming from hwy 394. i drove around and got lost looking for an access. thats why i am wondering if you guys could help me. thanks
