Fished it Saturday and today. At least 5" everywhere I drilled. No luck on Sat. in about 30 FOW. Sunday 11-3, fishing bay where big lake joins the little lake in about 24 FOW all the little perch and bass you want. Hot hole the whole time using horizontal hook with a pink Gulp minnow head. Snowmobiles and homes out in bay and along shoreline.

Hi Any tips on catching crappies through the ice on Deer? I know they are in there, but where would I start? I am not looking for your "secret honey hole" but any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Fished it Saturday all day. Perch bite at dusk, deep. Hot for an hour or so, then nothing. Haven't found the crappies yet. Fishing in bay of big lake on sw corner. Drilled a million holes. Perch hanging out below suspended minnows, 20-30 FOW. Not sure anyones got a honey hole yet. Wierd locations this year.

Good luck!
