I hit the ice near Lincoln again on Friday after work and was hoping the more stable weather would mean active fish. The afternoon started off with good numbers of smaller fish and one really nice bass. Jake joined up with me and we fished into the evening catching a fair amount of crappies. The crappie bite right at sundown was great and I’ve heard it’s been that way at several lakes around Lincoln. After cleaning a few crappie last night I can tell you not to be afraid of using larger bait. These fish seem to be feeding heavily on 2-3 inch shad.
Be sure to get on your favorite crappie spot around 4:30 this weekend and you’ll be sure to catch a bunch.
