The Panfish Bite is On!
The sunfish and crappie bite is strong!
The weather has been warm, so we have only made a couple inches since I last posted. We now have 14.5-15.5 inches of ice out on Lake Minnetonka. But it sounds like colder weather is on its way.
I moved my houses around this last week, and we are on a good sunfish and crappie bite. The sunfish have been loaded on the underwater camera. Some fish race up and eat while others you have to jig a bit to get them to eat. The smaller jigs with waxworms have been the best. After dark about 7:00pm the crappies move in and the fun begins. Some fish are suspended while others are near the bottom. I've had my best luck with glow jigs and waxworms. But some of my customers are catching them on crappie minnows too.
A few pike are hitting sucker minnows on tip-ups. But the walleyes are down there but customers are seeing them just swim by on the camera.
A busy holiday weekend coming up it should be fun to see what is caught.
