NW Wisconsin Crappies

[kjgmh]

I have recently become hooked on pulling crappies through the ice (thanks to URL). I do alot of fishing in NW for other species but have never gone after crappies. Does anyone have any thoughts on lakes to try and any tips or spots.

Thanks to any that reply

kjgmh. there are a few but dont expect url size often. Minnesung,Nebagamon,Red Lake (wascot),Amnicon,Dowling,Kimballs Bay,Mcclures(both on the St.Louis),Upper St.Croix Lake,All within an hour of Duluth/Superior and most with a good day bite,when its good that is. 6 to 12 inches common on most of these lakes

condor, have you been on kimball's bay recently how is the ice there seems like alot of vehicles going thru in that area.

Thanks Condor have you ever fished Bass Lake in Delta area, have heard it has crappies. What part of Upper St. Croix would you recommend trying.

havent been to Kimbals since early Jan. the cars are going through trying to get to Kilners Bay, I hear there is one there right now that is stuck but didnt fall through. Upper St. Croix seems to have a better night bite than day bite go by the locals shacks they'll be in 19 to 22 feet of water. I have thought about Bass lake but haven't gone there yet lots of small gills, Crappies supposed to be decent size though
