the struggle is real.

This just blows my mind! Really < 5 ft? I'm a complete amateur so thus is an honest question. I just can't believe it in this cold of water. You guys in North or south. Does it make a difference?

Also, what's the reason for them being so shallow?

Its everywhere. But in my opinion just fish the shallows when the Sun is out. Just think if you were in the water. Wouldn't you seek out the shallow water where the Sun is hitting it to warm up.

I am heading out tomorrow in my yak - Cabin Fever trip-- and have rigged up a bobber rig for the 1-4 ft brushy areas and a jig rig under a bobber trying the 3-6 ft levels. I will start shallow then work deep. It is calling for a rain/snow mix but I am confident I will catch some.

Great topic.

Good point

Just my thoughts but im not a crappie.but it makes sense to me

we r north east fork lake area

dont need the sun but it can help.like i said not in the shallows but shallow over 3 to 10 .100 plus days doin this.2 inch tubes or bobby garlands

fixed cork works best different action and dont try just 1 area it is usually 2 or 3 coves that r on that ice out pattern every year

Ok I'm going to head back to geist this afternoon anyone for any spots Or a general area I should be taking a closer look at

usually where the bait is also apersohn 17
