Crappie on Lake Pinchot, Tis the Season!

What is with this weather, you ask? Well, the weather has enabled local anglers the opportunity to hit the Lake (Pinchot) by boat rather than ice. It has afforded the hard core fisherman with outstanding results with several nice Crappie caught at the base of the lake just above the damn area.

The Crappie are stacked up and suspended with Small Shinners the prefered meal for these slabs. Although several anglers report that fathead work well to. Don't be afraid to try small Crappie Tubes and grubs.

The number one question we get asked is what depth are they holding at? Well, our honest answer is to get on the water and start at 5 feet down and work your way deeper. This way you won't go past them. Remember that these fish can fluctuate up and down sometimes, several times a day. Once you find them, obviously stay there.

The reports lately have been outstanding, so get out there quick to get a part of the action!
