Crappies biting here yet?

I fished Rock Lake while a friend of mine fished this lake; they didn't get a single bite in 4 hours. We also didn't find anything to bite on our lures; threw everything in the book at them and fished until 7:30pm.

A lot of run off is keeping the temp way down on these small lakes.

Is the ice off. I hope to be out there tom

I drove in at Birch Point and searched around til I found a deeper area on the south end. Lots of crappie and gills and they bit fairly good. Took a while to find them though, and they were mostly small dinks. I was the only one out there.

Any reports?

Does anyone know if there is an ice fishing contest tomorrow on Marsh-Miller lake? If so, what time does it start?

Winning pike was 7.9 lbs, biggest bass was 4.7 lbs, biggest bluegill was about .7 lbs and biggest perch was a .17 ounce which was tiny! Very big bass caught!!

anybody want to fill us in on the results of the contest?

Appreciate it bassman . thanks

12:30 to 3:30 or 4 anyone know how much snow is on top of ice? Thanks

Could someone kindly let me know what time the contest is saturday ? I could call the rod and gun club but figured this would be quicker ? Thank you in advance !! :-)

How are the fish biting? I will be coming up Saturday for the contest, hopefully it's a good turn out and the fish are biting good thanks

Doing a comprehensive study is always a good idea. Other things that can have an impact are an increase in weed growth which makes it harder for predators to find their prey, or even just a couple of years with ideal conditions for minnow reproduction. If enough people contact the DNR with their concerns they will get out there and look things over.

I think on all the more pressured big bodies of water each one should be studied and they should setup a limit for each lake. Minimum length on northerns and bass and a 15 bag limit of panfish.

I would say this rings true for the quality of Pike on Miller Dam as well. My buddy and I caught probably 50 shiners one afternoon and we could catch 15-20 pike a day on the north side of the lake and now we dont even bother. Caught a bunch of shiners on prairie on tuesday as well.
