Yeah, the guys that get on the crappie regularly are usually pretty tight lipped. Start in the bays that were mentioned. Good luck.

Yeah they do. But my good luck comment was in regards to getting some one to tell you where/how to catch them. Guys put in a ton of work to get on them consistently, and don’t give that info out lightly.

as far as the walleye go  what kind of water are we talking about   dont need to know exact spot   
are we talking main lake 20 feet of water  with a ledge on tip ups or can i jig for them with spoons   
is it only a morning or night bite    thanks again

From what I've heard, the walleye bite is mostly at night on tipups.  At least for the "derby winner" walleyes.  Not sure if eaters can be caught during the day or not.  I hope to find out this weekend!  Haven't spent much time chasing them through the ice.

Thanks I will try it for walleye Saturday afternoon into the night. Somewhere. Maybe Bruce has a suggestion as to where we should try.  Going to try for crappie or any pan fish in the morning probably in carry bay
Thanks. Good luck to all.

I would have to say outer or western Carrie bay might hold a walleye or 2, out near the passage.  (Blockhouse point)I’ve never tried there for them but they should be working there up through there heading north to the river
