I live nearby. Had the sleeper shack on little lake. Usually do good with crappies over there. Nothing but pike this year, and one 12″ in my photo. Spent 3 nights out there during the week after the crowd leaves. Still not much luck, moved house to 2 different spots that have always produced, sat out all day and night. So now I’m on the big lake. There is at least 20″ of ice everywhere I’ve checked. Trucks and castles out in the middle. Tracks everywhere. I’m scouting some spots with portable. In the summer, there is schools of minnows that swim under docks. Walleye are hard to catch on this lake. I caught a 7″ the other day off minnow plain hook.
