It looks like it will be a little warmer so I hope we do better. The first time up we did well but the last 4 times we haven't hit them. These guys love fish and so do I so I hope we get some to bring home. We aren't fish hogs but we do like to get some for the pan.

COOKIE Name: mebucher Upper_Red_Lakedoes anyone know if there still catching crappies 7 miles out of hillmans Name: fishboy Upper_Red_LakeThanks for the info. I went with 7 other guys last night and caught some real nice crappies. We didn't move around because it was so cold but we manage to get a few. Name: Honzy Upper_Red_LakeWas up there last weekend, like everyone says the Crappies are amazing if you move. Caught 11 the first night and 12 the second. We were 5 miles from shore using glow jigs and minnows. how late is the ice predictd to stay good for? Name: charles Upper_Red_Lakeis it possible to catch many crappies on wax worms with a little jig or any setup like that....or stick to the crappie minnows? Name: Bruce Upper_Red_LakeCookie, I was up last Monday and Tuesday, we were with Rod again and we did poorly. We were out 5 miles and Rod did better than we did and he was only 75 yards away so crappies aren't schooling yet. I am coming up next Tuesday thru Thursday and I will look you up. Amything you want me to bring you? E-mail me back with the latest reports. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeCharles red has been good .go with #4 or #6, try different crappie lures if there finicky go small. They come from the bottom most of the time,when they are real aggresive they will attack your presentation on the way down. Move if your not getting any untell you find them they have been in 13 to 14 feet of water, it is a big lake you have to hunt for them. There is no magic lure other then glow as crappies feed on sight more then smell. If your not getting fish move move and move.GOOD LUCK COOKIE Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeTalked to the guys in the cabin,16 fish 5 guys so not so good, the weather was cold last night not sure if that had effect on the fish, the guys are out searching for a good spot tonight. The wife and I will be going out for a few hours tonight ,have dinner and watch the antique road show and maybe catch some fish. Time will tell. COOKIE Name: charles Upper_Red_Lakewell i thank all you guys for all the tips and pointers. usually guys stay completely quiet because they don't want to help the other fisherman at all. from what i've heard any thing that glows works....what i'm wondering is what size hooks or jigs, if any whats the best color, and how far off the bottom.... i'm going up with my dad his friend and one of my buds for the first time.
