hi bill,
the crappie bite is now certainly on…we have been fishing the Wilcox area near wabasha. Minnows under floats in 2′ to 3′ also, small panfish jigs tipped with minow catching the larger fish plus the bonus largemouth (they also have the feed bag on!) It’s not as fast and furious as last year, but a steady bite for those with patience. It’s a busy launch area, so expect much traffic. color of jig does not seem to matter….if you are set with an electric troll motor, move on from likely spot to likely spot and you will have a ball! We’ve kept a meal, the rest go back for you and others to enjoy!!
