    Default Christmas time Crappie.


    If the lake don't lock up before hand. They will bite until it freezes over on the north end. We have been fishing 8-10 fow tight lining our baby shad plastics in smoke glow with sparkle's and blue and pearl. Then when it freezes up we will head to south end for some deep river ledge fishing. They have started pulling water now ( 1245 cfm ) but it should increase by Dec.15th when they start the draw down. If we don't get a bunch of rain like we did last Dec. the crappie bite should be good all winter if we don't freeze up early. If your a Muskie fisherman below the spillway is the place to be. They are catching a few now with a Walleye now and then. But when the discharge rate increases it can be some of the best fishing around. So get out and enjoy some good winter fishing. On another note those folks that were calling and asking about Christmas Gift Certificates. I had them put on my homepage of my website for easier purchase so you can get them faster.

    Yes it was. He caught it in the spillway area last winter late. Just got it back this summer. I will have to get the weight and post back. I know it was close to record. They are there but you have to put your time in to get um.

    It might of been. We had just got there and he was leaving. I didn't get a real good pic of him holding the fish. Still had my old flip phone then.
