Thread: Crappie

Anyone catching any? I have an itch that needs scratching. I haven't been ice fishing in a few years. Where are the slabs?

Good luck with the ice unless you live way up in the northern section. I live down in spencer we only have about 2 inches. I just purchased a new gas powered auger 4 months ago and no ice. If you find good ice let me know and I would drive up north for a couple days

I heard there were four-five inches on Missisinawa, but the water was on the muddy side. I may swing up that way tomorrow.

We went over to Missy on Sunday looking for some open water to fish. We don't ice fish. Didn't find much on the lake side but the ice didn't look very thick either. Went down to the spillway and after a little searching came home with 23 real nice crappie, several in the 12 inch range and the biggest at 14. One of the better days i have ever had down there. I heard saturday was just as good. Went back Monday evening and didn't do as good, only had 4 good fish which i ended up releasing.Two of those were 12 inch fish.

Mississenewa is still being dropped to winter pool. They are pulling 1380 cfs according to the corps website. I would be very cautious on missy and salamonie

plenty of ice up around angola area. we been hauling in the slabs on ice for over a week. people out everywhere. does anyone work during the week these days? lol id hate to see what it looks like on a saturday out there!

pulled these this morning before noon on minnows.

most were around 12" one went over 14".

Nice river scum! I've never been up in that area wouldn't even know where to start. . thanks for the motivational pics. If you need a partner let me know . How about the ice on Morse? Its about 20 min from me I may check it out tomorrow.
