Crappie Ice Fishing Tips

[Captain Don]

First of all I wanted to say this is a great site!

Now I need to ask for some Crappie Ice Fishing tips. Here's what I have been doing and no Crappie have been caught. I know they are in this lake too cause I catch nice ones in the Summer!

Lake is Marl and Organic Bottom. Deepest spot is 20 feet. I set up at the edge of the marl/organic in about 18 feet of water. Drill my 4 holes; 2 to fish from and the other 2 to let more light from my propane lantern down.

I have tried Minnows, Glow Jigs, waxies, Spikes, Jigging spoons and I cannot get the Crappie to show up at night!

I have ice fished this lake into the evening and just before dark I caught some nice crappie once. I work til 11pm and like to go fishing around midnight and have sat there almost til daylight and nothing! I have a vex and nothing shows up on it!

Any tips or critisism on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!
