Title: Ice out crappie smackdown! 2-23-18
Post by: Bobberbucket on February 23, 2018, 04:28:55 PM

Did some wading at portage today and it turned out pretty dang good! Caught around 50 crappie between 7-11” fishing a 1/64th jig and 1” Black Shad gulp under a float 18”-3ft deep. Fish were caught in 4-6fow in and around the weeds. Orange and black were the top producing jig colors. Boy do I love smashing crappie on artificials! All fish were released.8)
