Minnesota Shallow Ice Crappie with Dave Genz

Classic shallow crappie pattern that produces fish on most Minnesota natural lakes. Jason Mitchell joins Dave Genz at late ice where we find crappie running the edges of shallow pencil reeds at last light. Great opportunity to catch nice crappie. Showcase the effectiveness of the Clam Silkie to add an insect-like, pulsating action to your jig that is deadly for panfish. Great tips and advice on how to catch crappie through the ice.

Fun to see Mr.Gentz still using his cheap blue box! They are enjoyable to remodel and add handy attachments to , for not much money.

I carry a small hatchet . It easily opens up yesterdays holes that have skinned over. Chop like yur opening a tin can, then lift out the "lid".

[@ryannelson6524]

Basin crappies have seemed to moved on me I don't have the confidence to try shallow weeds but I plan to give it a shot today

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

I want to fish devils lake and Minnesota bucket list

[@albertapikewalleye6833]

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

This was filmed late ice in April but we just aired it on television

[@familyfishkiller1062]

It's orly

[@651dc5]

Nice catches!! send me pin points!

[@kroggydog]

computer music blows

[@Briantrenne]

I’m fishing shallow ponds similar to this… seems like the bite is very slow… low oxygen levels?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

We have seen many shallow lakes and shallow weed patterns shut down on some small lakes in particular this winter because of the amount of snow on the ice. Dying weeds will ruin some shallow bites.

[@SenorPussface]

How shallow were you fishing in this episode?

[@JasonMitchellOutdoors]

8 feet midday and up to 4 feet in the evening.
