I've caught them there in the summer time along the shoreline to the right of the boat launch. Hard to say where they'll be in the winter?

try the deepest hole in the lake or one close to a belly of a cove..

I tried Unity but i did not have a guide so i did not have any sucess. Look for a dep hole along a flat as was said and with a flasher you should be ok. And first of all ask someone on the ice fishing for them. Let us know.

I have spent a lot of time on Unity and had good luck in the spring but never went up there on hard water.

In the spring the fishing is best in the northeast corner in 12-15 ' of water.

There are several places in the middle of the pond that are shelves with as little as 9-10'. There is no deep water on that end. The deepest spot in south of the boat ramp. Here's a link to the map of the pond and info; by MIFG. Good Luck!

Ive caught them there in the winter, in about 20 foot of water about 300-400 yds out from the launch only caught a few but they were all nice size. I didnt have a flasher then and still caught them. good luck

Fat dog,
Unity is spose to have an abundance of crappie...Never fished it...Just going by word of mouth.
If your looking for numbers and not quality then head over to Hermon pond...

FATDOG · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 17, 2008, 06:17 PM »

thanks for the replies guys. I fished Unity probably 15 times last season and about my 6 or 7th try I found a honey hole there. my best day was 40+ crappie

Also some big smallies in there!

Also, a first for me.

I'm taking a week off and want to fish Unity for crappie.
My brother and I fished it last spring and it was his first time eating crappie.
Hope to see some of you guy on the ice.
I will be looking for the Shanty Flags and patches.

I started by asking Fatdog for an update because when searching for "Unity pond crappie"
His original post came up and as you can see by the response the search engine worked as it should.
Thank you very much for the updates.
