Have friends that live on Crooked. Was told today that there are about a dozen shacks on the lake around mid point. Getting on with quads and sleds. No one has ventured out with a truck yet. About 9". Fishing is good they say. Plan on taking the shack out next weekend! YAH!!! Last day of White tail hunting.....time to hit the hard water! Stay safe out there everyone!!

killemfish · « **Reply #7 on:** Dec 14, 2013, 02:34 PM »

Was at Crooked yesterday, drove on, 18 inches. Fishing sucked! Got 2 small eyes in 3 hours. Heard it was good, must have been the wrong time of the day?

Thanks for the update killemfish! Wanted to get the shack out today but got busy with Christmas prep!! Will be hauling the shack out tomorrow. (Warmer?!!) What part of the lake did you go to? We usually go to Indian Point.

Anyone catching perch ? Do they still have the black spots (parasites) in the fillet? $:-\$

Finally hit the ice in the Rider shack!! Sitting at Indian Point. On 16" of ice. Excellent day! Wally, (no weird growths), Jack and Perch! (no spots) Had a great fish fry! Some MAJOR heaves in the ice on the west side of the point. Be safe out there!

Heard rumours that fishing has been really good at Grenfell Beach. Anyone ben there lately?

Dee Bj · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 28, 2013, 03:49 PM »

We have our shack directly across the lake at Indian Point. Was out on boxing day and it was stellar! Landed 20 fish all together. You name the species....we landed it. Lots of folk out now. Been great to us so far!

killemfish · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 28, 2013, 04:02 PM »

Had good luck at Indian Point about four years back. Good to hear! May head out to Crooked tomorrow.

killemfish · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 29, 2013, 04:43 PM »

Fished Indian Point today, it was very slow! Couple small eyes and a pike.

killemfish · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 15, 2014, 09:47 AM »

May try Crooked Saturday again. Anyone catching?

Dee Bj · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 16, 2014, 10:26 AM »

Has been horribly slow! Vexilar shows loads of fish.....just not biting. Very frustrating

Hoping a chsnge in the weather will turn them on. We fished daily from 9th to 13th. The fish we did hook up on were all males and had empty bellies.

killemfish · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 16, 2014, 06:38 PM »

Thanx for the info! I have found that Crooked tends to slow down in January and pick up in February and March.

killemfish · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 18, 2014, 06:42 PM »

Very slow day on Crooked today! 3 pike and that was it.

That lake sucks in the winter!!! Natives net all the fish out of there!!!

Is ANYONE having ANY LUCK, ANYWHERE on Crooked?

The water quality is poor and the bite is non existent! The fish are there...but won't touch us! $:-\$ Heard one thought that because the ice stayed on the lakes until March, the fish didn't spawn. Any thoughts?

killemfish · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 22, 2014, 08:11 PM »

Fish still would have spawned, just later than usual.

killemfish · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 22, 2014, 09:57 PM »

Hows the bite at Crooked? DEEBJ?

fishin buddy · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 23, 2014, 07:34 AM »

dead

Dee Bj · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 25, 2014, 03:46 PM »

We are still fishing Crooked at Indian Point. Moved around a lot with our perm shack because of the drifts. We are in 16 ft. Limited out on eyes last week! One day we will do great and the next it will be dead. Had to put the extension on the jiffy. Water quality is improving. Will be out again on the weekend! Can't catch them if you don't drop a line!
