CrappieTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructureLedgesHad a decent afternoon with about 20 crappie. Had good luck jigging with wax worms on the VMC Bullfly jig or bobber and crappie minnow. Roughly 30' of water. Fish we're suspended in about 20'.
Luke TavernierBronze AmbassadorSpeciesCrappieTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructureLedgesSo during the afternoon 1pm-3pm we were fishing 16-18 feet of water using clam dropkick jigs with a Waxie. This worked really well for crappie and perch. Keeping the bait a foot off the bottom raising it 3/4 feet and let it drop. During the evening 4pm-6pm we moved to 12 feet. This brought the same fish using the same method but this time was a Akua Waxie cream color by Kenders.

Fishing in 12-14 feet using a Kenders Tungsten Akua Waxie jig. We were using multiple colors of this jig but the big perch overall hit better on the cream color.

Find the edge of deep basins after dark. Minnows on vertical style jigs work best. Crappies higher up in the water column tend to be the most aggressive.

Fished the community holes on west rush, found fish from middle column down to bottom of lake. Crappies ranged from 10-11” with. Few 12’s mixed in. Ice ranged 20” with approximately 14” of clear ice and 6-7” of white ice. Lot of snow on top of ice. One road is plowed on West Rush. Wont be long until open water season so trek lightly and cautiously during this late season. Pinhead minnows worked well tipped with minnow head or plain. Also any plastics seems to work as well. No sweet to get them to bite, they are hungry and fattening up for spawning season, so remember to let the big girls go.
