A buddy of mine just got back from Red. Lot’s of released walleyes but the crappies are slow. Not like years past. I wonder if the returning walleye population is affecting the crappies?
I’m heading up in February. Let us know how you do.
Returned from Mille Lacs yesterday. Accessed the lake at Hunter’s Point. Fishing was slow but productive. It appeared a truck had tried to cross the pressure ridge off the marked road and bridge. It was a costly decision for the driver. Other anglers said that his truck went in the drink.
We had a good 12″ of solid ice at about 1 mile out. We accessed on sleds and felt very safe at this thickness. Be safe and be smart. Drive slow and stay on the roads.
