I have found that my local lakes have got about 2 feet of ice on them now, when 2 weeks ago, they had maybe a foot.

So much for an early ice-out.

Also, this cold weather is holding my fish in deep water yet, and I usually would be in a breakline pattern right now.

Anyone else finding that there favorite spring time pattern is being held up by Mother Nature and still catching fish in more of a January pattern?

I know I am, but who knows what this weather will do....it is Minnesota.

Good luck anglers,

PCG

I can't speak for "your" lakes or "your' fish. As for "my" fish and "my" lakes, the attitude here is more like "I would tell you, but then I would HAVE to kill you!" I will say we haven't had any problem catching 8" - 10 1/4" sunnies the past couple weeks.

I certainly didn't intend to imply "my" fish and "my" lake as an ownership thing.

Just a figure of speach.

As for an attitude...I am always happy to share tips and tactics. I don't have any "secrets", I just do what I need to to catch the elusive Crappies.

Good fishing to all.

The crappie bite is still good up here on "DA RANGE" but seems to have slowed down a bit with the new snow cover. The ice has also gotten 4 or 5 inches thicker.

I am still getting my Crappie in the holes. They still haven't moved as yet. Brought home 11 nice ones again this evening. Still over 2 feet of ice on the lake I fish just north of Bemidji.

Hey HawgTime, Where have you been getting the pig sunnies at. There isnt a thing going anywhere here in south central minnesota except for little dinks on German and Roberds. A 10 1/4" SUNNIE IS A SLAB.

Sounds good guys.

I made it out last night, and am starting to find Crappies up shallower now, in about 15-18 feet of water, but there are still plenty of fish in the 25-40 foot ranges also.

The big gill's are mixed more with the shallower Crappies, and it seems the small sunnies are suspended in 35 ft.

Good fishing and good luck!

Pro Crappie Guide-

I was wondering what lake you are finding these big gills on? I have been fishing Larson lake and catching small crappies only keeping a few for a meal once in a while. I would love to go catch a few bull bluegills. Could you send me an email at [email protected] any info will be appreciated.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
