Beautiful crappie available supply before it turns
NOW! Darl Black photo really cold.
I have just returned
from a wonderful trip to
Canada to film a Crappie
show with my partner, Garrett Steele, which is
hosted by one of the biggest popular fishing
names and brands in Canada, Bob Izumi. The
footage will show sometime next spring all across
Canada and eventually on the internet.
As we soon learned, Crappie fishing in
Canada is a hidden gold mind. We fished on
Lake of the Woods and had a banner day catching
numerous Black Crappies up to 15 inches. They
are so colorful with predominate yellow and black
colorations.
It took us a couple of hours to locate them
using our electronics, but we found them in 20-
21 feet of water literally inches above the bottom
and in considerable numbers. We tried all kinds
of jigs, plastics, etc. but finally caught numbers
on the Johnson Fishing Thin Fisher and related
spoons.
We were so fortunate to be able to stay
at the Crystal Harbor and Birch Island Resorts
where the shore lunches, dinners and great
accommodations were second to none. The
scenery there is breath taking and the fishing
superb.
Watch for more ice fishing and northern
Crappie articles in future editions.
God Bless and Good Fall Fishing,
Dan
