I'd love to know how you guys did. I fished Half Moon on Friday night and Balsam this morning and the only thing I can tell you is both lakes have really healthy populations of small perch.

On Cedar we got one dink of a crappie, and everything else was tight lipped all day. Saw a few game fish cruising on the camera right at dawn, but the activity level of even the little guys just died as the day went on.

[JoePalermo]

we did farely well sat ..got into some deep water around 26ft by the 2nd island just on the outsidevof the rock piles and got into some decent crappies ..we really had to work for them we muat of drilled 100 holes before we foundem . really lite bite ... hopefully when the temp warms they will get a lil more aggressive again.

[nllumberco]

Has anyone been back out on Balsam or in the area it the last week or so? I'm doing a last minute day trip tomorrow and looking for a general place to start.

[GSP4ME]

I'll be outthere today out from paradise will be in my Jason Mitchell one man stop by and say hi

[Nick Kuhn]

I did the contest on Magnor today and the fish were active. Panfish and bass were loving the waxies, so a bite wasn't the issue. The issue was fish were constantly on the move and with all the people on the lake you couldn't move to follow them. Caught fish as shallow as 7 and as deep as 24.

[nllumberco]

I found Balsam to be really slow from 8 AM until 1 PM. I drilled about 100 holes and marks were hard to come by and only caught a couple small sunfish. Fished shallow weeds and searched 28-32 feet of water for crappies.

Then I headed to Half Moon and started shallow and there were fish in 8 ft but biters were hard to come by. Slid out to 18 ft and the fish were moving through and from 2 PM to about 6 PM I ended up keeping about a dozen decent sunfish and crappies. Blood red was the hot color.

DId pretty good on Balsam on Sunday. Fished down by the power lines and in about 11 feet of water. 9 real nice gills and half a dozen crappie around 10 inches had a lot of little ones mixed in as well. Got cut by two northerns
