I made it out for 2.5 hours today...I have been on them hard for the last 4 or 5 trips and threw back a bunch before i decided to keep a these. One fish was just short of 15, with a few 13 inchers thrown in.

VERY well done !

Wow! You aren't the guy that was way out from the dam are you? We fished about three hours (blue Clam Tamarack) off the dam. I had a couple of light strikes; hubby caught two crappie - one legal. He threw it back since it was skinny. Just as well considering the lack of fish thereafter. Fingers crossed conditions hold for next weekend.

Good Job !!!! Glad somebody is on them.

Good job.Must be nice to be catching fish.

Buffy that was not fshman because his truck was not in the parking lot. I stopped by and talked to you guys on my way out around 1:00pm.

Made the long walk out to mid lake today...Fish were not crushing the lure like yesterday but it was solid action again. I ended up with a limit of crappies. Largest was 13.75 and 13 even. The rest were between 12 and 10.5 inches. The new snow made it a bear to pull out there and back..roughly a mile each way. Here is a picture of my fish popsicles....

Fishman,
 Are you getting out today?
 I plan on trying by the dam.

Bruce....just saw this. Pm me and I will let you know what my schedule looks like for the next few days. Maybe I can meet you out there.

I went out 2 times today...the first time out I found a large school of white bass...I caught over 25 and they were a mixed bag of medium to really large...couldnt get past the white bass to catch any crappies. Went back out from 4:45 to 6:30 and then found the crappies. I ended up with 18 keepers..with about 6 throwbacks. I have been finding the active fish roving along drops..generally between 23 and 30 feet. bottom content changes make it even better.

 I went out yesterday. I walked out to open water and caught at least 40 crappie that were 8 to 9.5, a cat fish, anda few white bass. Then I went closer to the parking lot. Caught about 50 white bass and a bunch more crappie that were just shy of 9 ".
 Ended up with 10 crappie that were 9.5 to 11" and about 15 white white bass.
 I used multiple jigs and lures. They hit everything I threw at them. But the chartreuse cicada was absolutely deadly. 
 I easily caught over my limit on keeper crappie, but I try to keep them if they are over 9.5".

Went out this morning roughly 100 yards off shore and caught
Fish basically for about 4 hours straight. I threw back
Roughly 60 crappies that averaged 10 inches. I did not
Keep count of the white bass but probably threw back about
Half That many. The whites ran around 13 inches. Yesterday I caught
About the same amount but also caught a couple
Keeper walleyes. Nothing huge both just shy of 16 inches. Needless to
Say fishing is good. Earlier in the week the crappies were much
Bigger (quite a few over 12 inches) but the last few days I have seen
Smaller fish come in.
