Title: 2 Fisherman, 1 Ice Hole, 1 Massive School of Crappies
Post by: MN Bassfisher on Dec 09, 2014, 08:45 PM: On Black Friday (11/28/14) my fishing partner Ryan and I took to the ice in Central Minnesota in search of some nice sized Crappies. We spent a good portion of the early afternoon chasing a roaming school of Crappies. We would catch 1-2 nice ones and then have to move holes with the fish. This all changed when we found ourselves on top of a massive school of nice quality Crappies. We didn't want to spook them by punching another hole so we team fished out of the same hole for over 45 minutes.

We kept a few 9 inchers early on when the bite went a bit cold but all the fish on the ice from the hot hole were 10-12". Anything over that is always released by me.

Haha yeah anytime I don't record the audio with the video it comes across that way. Good Ear! I have been putting my Kahtoola's to use this season, most of the time I use cleats once or twice and then the lakes are covered with snow but I've used them 9 times this year and don't see that changing anytime soon. The microSpikes are awesome!
