Yeah, plastics are nice for the brief moments you get on the schools, a lot quicker to drop back down and keep fishing. One thing I should have mentioned is Osakis can be very challenging and different than other panfish lakes. I usually don’t try to chase them down like I would on Ida or Miltona. Often times, as frustrating as it is, it is best to wait for them to come to you. So many deep spots in that lake, that drilling and running around for them often proves futile. Best to just wait it out and wait for the slabs to find you. Take advantage when they do! Best of luck to you guys!

Hey Chad, welcome to the group. I’d have to say Osakis is one of my favorite fisheries in the area, so glad to see you and your friends are headed out. Great Crappie and Bluegill lake with most of my success coming in 25-35 feet of water around the bottom of steep transition lines. Download a countour app on your phone and head to the head of the lake. Any small tungsten jig tipped with wax worms or even better yet, plastics, should do the trick. Colors always vary, but was very successful with blue/white earlier on this month.
