Pool 8 Ice Crappies with Video

When fishing highly pressured areas, having the right electronics and moving around can be the key to success for a great day on the ice. At first, finding fish wasn’t too difficult, but trying to locate bigger fish can always be more challenging. Scott Strozinsky and I hit the ice of what turned out to be a great day of fishing.

With the weather warming and a clear day these crappies were hungry. We caught many crappies along with some very nice bluegills. We had to move around a few times to stay on a good quality bite in this backwater area, but we seemed to always stay on the fish. The crappies and bluegills were suspended from about 8 -14 feet of water. We used two jigs that really did a great job in catching our fish, the marmuska jig and also the gill pill tipped with a waxie.

In this last picture I caught this crappie that had a huge chunk taken off its back. We were both surprised that the fish was even a live and the cut looks fairly recent.
Overall it was nice to get out on the ice and with consistant action we couldn’t ask for a better day.

  1. We were actually out there when the snow was really starting to melt.
    Baby Mallard, you are right I would of lost a little if I had the mouth closed, but was a little awkward were I had the tape measure. Still I was very pleased with the fish we caught.

    Nice fish but I have a hard time believing those were true 12 inch crappies.


    You might make more friends if you did not rip on every post in here BM. It was a very good report until your negative attitude arrived.

  3. I know that spot! Well, I wish I did.

    I was going to rip on the host…but the video and editing always makes him look good…so I figured I wouldn’t.

    Nice work guys!
