Crooked Creek

Did anyone get up to Crooked Creek This past weekend?  I was curuous how the road is going in and how much snow is on the ice?

Is that all you wanted to know?  I would have asked where is a good spot to start fishing?  How did you do there?  Hows the ice conditions?  Did you do any night fishing for Cropies?

I was going to go there this weekend but I don't own a four wheeler. So I scrapped that idea because everyone tells me how its a must to get to decent fishing. Making the haul to hell creek instead.But if anyone tells me different than I might change my mind for the third time

You can walk in at crooked creek, it's not all that bad.  we did 1.76 on the GPS three weeks ago out into the bay.  Fished 7 ft of water, iced some nice northerns, a walleye and even a perch.  A wheeler is ideal, but if you don't have one it'd definately doable.  Ice was 7-9 depending on the holes, and closer to ten in the areas it was more shallow.

Anyone know if you can pick up minnows at Winnett or will I need to get em in Billings before I head up to Crooked Creek?

we stopped at Winnet last may to get minnows & the lady said they weren't going to do minnows anymore.So Pryer bait or the Minnow Bucket would be your best bet.
