Panfish action in the North Woods

[556LaGue]

630 a.m yesterday morning, I geared up for a full day on the ice with a couple of my good buddies for some all day panfish action. We were headed out to a local lake that had high numbers of quality fish of all species. Crappies being our main focus of the day.

Started out drilling a bunch of holes in 20+fow and searching for active fish. Immediately we started pulling crappies up then hole with a few nice ones being around that 14" range.

With the little weather break we got around here, we thought it would be a good idea to invite a few other friends along. About an hr after we started, we were then joined by Mr Dave Genz and a couple buddies of his. Needless to say we caught a lot of fish!

Crappies were the majority of them with a mix of others as well. All these fish were caught with different presentations. Spoons loaded with either waxies or spikes and jigs with our favorite plastics seemed to be what worked for us. Staying mobile was key to catching these fish. Couldn't have done it without our electronics of course, as they were all over the water column throughout the day and constantly on the move.

Always great to meet new friends and always a pleasure watching Dave work! Here's just a few pictures we took. Maybe Dave has a few more?

Awesome fishing day, indeed! I would have loved to join you guys and crash those fish parties! Yes, the ultimate goal is to make them scream every time we hook'em up! Crappies are my obsession.

Great day indeed! I wish I would've got more pictures to share. Next time for sure! Looking forward to the next time out! Should be another post this weekend if the weather holds up
