Had a chance to do a recon mission before ice last weekend and wow was I impressed with the construction of the lake! My father and I spent most of the day learning & capturing data, and of course fishing. We only took UL gear as we were targeting the elusive crappie. Well, needless to say, they were NOT elusive in this lake. Nearly every way point we marked and fished was a success. However... that being said, we could not manage a fish over 10" out of the 100+ crappies caught. Many fell into the 7-8" range. They were aggressive so we thru several presentations at them and it didn't matter, they were feeding! I'll give this lake a couple years before I return, but when I do, I'd expect it to be a phenomenal fishery! On to the next mission, BIG HOLLOW. Anyone care to share any pan fish info on size or numbers?
