Was up last Thursday and Friday and found a few decent crappies despite the cold weather. We were fishing in about 30’ of water with crappie minnows. Bite was about the lightest I’ve seen. Nice to be out but good to be in a portable with a heater.

We were with Up North Friday and Saturday night and JRs. On Sunday night. Very happy with both outfitters! Tough to fight the weather. Walleyes were caught with Up North and perch with JRs. South shore with Up North and out near Center Bar with JRs. Guide with JRs. said everyone around us was slow Sunday into Monday a.m. No fish over night on rattle reels in either house with either outfitter.

Was on Red this weekend Friday night-Monday with a group of 4. High pressure and weather to -30 made it quite challenging. We caught a few on Friday evening and Saturday morning. Bite was slow and slowed down more after that. Our best bite was in about 9-10′ of water on the south shore. Dead sticks w/ plain hooks caught everything with nothing jigging. Ended up with 9 fish, 4 of which were perch. The walleyes were all very healthy nice fish. Tough bite but given the weather we weren’t surprised. Still had a good time.
