You guys talk of silver lake but there are multiple silver lakes. The one I live on you can only hammer the crappy in summer, winter is a tough time for crappie here. I have heard that lake Champlain has some good crappie fishing on hard water though. I also have a house right down the road from eagle lake and I have a feeling that it will freeze before paradox lake. Looks like im fishin there first.You guys also like to keep your fishin spot a secret but why? I fished some good spots on champlain and other lakes in vermont as well as here in new york but it takes the right bait equipment and time to haul in a big catch. Just because you gave up a good spot on here doesn't mean everyone is going to go there and fish it. Then if there are people who will try to fish it they probably wont catch much. On one specific lake in Vermont, fairfield pond, I was using some meal worms and pip squeks and I caught nothing. I also had to walk through a foot of snow and even 2 feet in some spots. The next time I was out I used some minnows and I killed the perch, I caught a fish every time i dropped to the bottom. I caught maybe 10 perch and some were as long or longer than 13 inches but I just kept enough for a meal for myself. The next time I went out on the ice which was a few weeks later I caught maybe 3 fish over 3 or 4 hours. So really it takes more than just one trip from some outsider to catch a bunch of fish, even if they come back a few times they probably wont be able to perfect the technique each lake keeps secret. For you people that are afraid to give up a good fishing spot, its a gamble but you have the home field advantage. If any of you take the time to read this whole post I appreciate that and these are the reasons that I dont have a big problem sharing some good fishing spots. Some spots are big enough that everyone could enjoy a good time fishing. I would rather people catching fish or even trying to catch fish in some of my favorite fishing spots because the challenge of finding the fish and getting the right technique is the best part of fishing.

wher s silver lake?
Champlain if you know where to go
Most ice fishermen are tight lipped
know whats really interesting...EVERY SINGLE PERSON on here that has no problem talking up any lake or pond and can't understand why people would show retraint in naming their fishing spots - EVERY SINGLE ONE is new to the site and has been here around a year or less. They just haven't learned the hard way. Just ask SSmokinSS from myfishfinder about how talking up his own favorite lake worked out for him.
Someones depends are a little tight today.

What are crappies?
