As a side note, I saw that Baitmasters in Aldrich carries Binks Spoons. I picked up a couple in the 1/4 ounce, havent tried them yet. They have really made that a nice place to stop.

Ditto mr Giggles. Went this morning and fished Ruark Bluff. 12 inch crappie on the first drop than nada. Fished till 11

Awesome Info! I appreciate it. I don’t know what I’m doing so we shall see. Trying to decide between Cedar Ridge area and Roark

Headed up Wednesday to look for crappie has anyone been crazy enough to go out in this cold? Look forward to my first winter crappie trip. Have heard lots of good things about this time of year. Any tips on depth and structure to target ? Will post a report

Nice mess ! Minnows, jigs? See any big shad balls ? I’m going out next week will post a report

Awesome. Thanks Dan !

About when do crappie start heading for their deep water winter haunts? noticed that usually, around this time of year they are in shallower brush. I was wanting to get out the week of thanksgiving and have no idea what the pattern might look like. Thinking about putting the boat up for winter and doing some shalllw kayak fishing up river. Thanks for any insight!

Pulling cranks behind the kayak ? Or casting ? Nice catch ! Any particular baits ?

Went early morning with the intent on fishing brush piles for crappie. Launched at Cedar ridge campground ran up near high point. Couldn’t zero in on them. Caught 1 keeper and a short. Decided to try to for some walleye. Ran up past state park and caught 2 shorts on Secondary points with jig and crawler. Very light bite.

Does anyone know if it’s still closed ?

Thanks for the replies. I have the Garmin striker 4cv. (Very basic) no card slot .

Hey there. I was looking at the MDC brush pile gps coordinates and comparing them to the Navionics app on I phone and found they were slightly different. I have a Garmin sonar with gps but no mapping cards. I know how to mark waypoints but haven’t mastered entering them by coordinates. The question is are the mdc coordinates dead on? I guess just going to the general area and watching sonar?

Anybody targeting crappie lately? Was thinking about hitting some brush piles next week. Will post report

Thanks for the info ! I think I might try a slip bobber rig from the sounds of it.
