There was roughly 4 to 5 inches of safe ice in the bay that we were fishing. This particular fish came off a tip up in 6 feet of water, but we caught a few roaming what’s left of the weed line in 8-10 feet. Rattling spoons tipped with a minnow head were most productive.

Basin Crappie Fishing in the winter is a fun way to catch numbers of fish, I like to find the basin and drill out the area where the break stops. Use your electronics to locate the fish, they are normally suspended and dusk and dawn are the best but this bite normally goes all night. Tie your jigging rap directly to your line with mono and go up about 2'-3' and tie the barrel swivel then to your braid. tip your jigging rap with a small minnow head or a wax worm or euro larva drop down to just above the fish and start jigging. good Luck!
