Ice fishing trip

[deerlaker]

Hello, I am from price county and want to fish a lake with good walleye and crappie population that has potential for some nice sized ones caught.  I would like a lake with a night bite as well.  I would travel by snowmobile on the lake.  Thanks

Isn't that the $10,000 question? If you find it let us know, maybe post the gps coordinates of where you caught fish. Or you could do some of your own homework look at some maps, call some bait shops, talk to the local DNR fish bioligist? And not ask for it on a silver platter. Just saying. Sorry I'm a little on edge this morning.

I heard the crappie bonanza on Red Lake was history, you should have been here 10 years ago.

The bonanza is over but the walleyes are back.

There are still crappies to catch as well.

Lol, someone pi$$ in your Cherrios this morning?  Kicked your dog?  Ran off with your wife?  Just one of those days, huh?

As for the OP, North Twin has good walleye numbers and a good night bite, but no crappie bite, more perch and gills.  Best bet would to check online for lakes with walleyes and crappies in it and fish the clear, deep ones, those are likely to have more of a night bite than the darker, stained flowages .

Since we are now in between mid to late ice it is best to fish the bigger deep clear water lakes they have more oxygen. Small lakes really start to shut down, fish go into a hibernation mode to deal with lower oxygen levels.

Lake minocqua has decent crappie and good walleye fishing. No giant crappie but good numbers and 30" walleye not uncommon. If those are your target species and you want to stay in Wisconsin waters you could do a lot worse than there
