You should go there. I go there in June and do well with catching big gills.

Went out with Rick tonight, caught plenty of pig gills. A few over 10 inches, even a double on 10"s. He has the pic of that

Those dark ones sure are pretty. I've caught a few nice ones out of the Croix and they're all like that. Cool fish.

Crappies found yesterday just offshore moving into late evening "shady areas".

[goblueM]

Well they aren't quite in the class of Jim's dinner plates above, but did pretty well on bluegills this weekend

[Jim Uran]

Beautiful fish!!

[OnAFly]

Got into a few of these this weekend while looking for eyes. They were all around 13.5"

All we had was a phone for pics...I gotta get a new camera

[Jim Uran]

Oh wow! That is a nice looking crappie!

[reinhard1]

real nice fish!!. there is a small lake i fish north of Duluth where i catch walleys and crappies. i use the same bait for both. 1/8th oz pink and white Lindy fuzzy grub jig with a fathead. good luck.

[OnAFly]

We were catching them jigging for eyes. Every once in a while your jig wouldn't hit the bottom, set they hook and you pulled up one of those

My dad caught more of those nice crappies than I did. I was the rockbass king that day

[reinhard1]

i go to this lake usualy only in late fall. the lake is dark stained and has a max depth of 18 feet. both the walleys and crappies we catch are in less than 10 feet that time of the year. we get both by drifting with the jigs i mentioned. when i cant feel bottom i let out a little more line.

if it's more wind than i like, i anchor the boat and cast the jig off the two points we fish. i let it sink to the bottom and then slowly work it in. the color of pink head and white body with pink feather on the end of the fuzzy grub. we have tried other colors but this one it seems that the fish only hit so we stick with them. the crappies are 10 to 13 in. average in this lake and have no trouble with the presentation with that big ol mouth.

this is an older pic from that lake but hasn't changed any over the years. good luck.
