We are plannning on going up in January again. We always try to do good on perch in the morning on Winnie and then head to URL for the afternoon/night bite.
JP, We did that same trip a few years back, but we leave from Winona. We didn’t have any luck for crappies that night, and it is a drvie from Bena to URL. I think it took us an hour and a half, the roads aren’t the best. We have always talked about doing it again, but always run out of time. Hope this helps.
