I went out to do a little scouting on the 27th by myself. Not a whole lot of fun to ice fish by yourself by the way but this was more business than anything. I found some crappie and by some I mean a lot. I tried a different area than anyone was fishing and there were a ton of fish there and they were good sized.
Yesterday I filmed with Dave Carlson out of Eau Claire and we caught plenty of crappie in the same spot that I fished on the 27th. I kept 22 in the three hours we were there and probably could have tripled that had I been moving around from hole to hole. I drilled about eighty holes and fished out of about five. We had plenty of footage so it didn't much matter. Most were in the 9 to 11 inch range. We did catch a lot of small ones also. Didn't see any of them the day before. Nothing over 11 inches yesterday but like I said we didn't move around much.
Nasty storm up here right now. We've got close to a foot of snow and a whole lot of wind. No fishing today.
