Name: cooikie Upper_Red_LakeTroy got the nick name from my sister, one of the first words she said. The wife even helped me drag my deer out of the woods this year.What a sweety she is a tremendious help around here and I've Loved her since I first saw her love at first sight. The crappie contest will not effect the evning bite unless your fishing where they hold the contest. I do not no the lake like some of the locals do as they have much more time on the lake then me. I do have alot of friends that come up here and they are a great help. The Greek is my hunting partner and best friend and a expert hunter and fishermen. He is dedicated to fishing and always gets so excited when we find fish. Took the night off from fishing and will be getting ready for the big weekend lots of company coming so should be a blast. COOKIE Name: cooikie Upper_Red_LakeRicky The cribs are man made structures dropped in the lake to attrack bait fish, which in turn attract game fish. The roads go out about 8 miles. Plenty of room to fish. The average size of the crappies is 13" that is a average. I have caugth many fish over 14. A standard bucket is 12inches from outside to outside.I have seen so many over 14" that 12" looks small to me.I would say the ice is over 30" bring a extension. The northerns are closed and walleyes are closed year round as they are trying to rebuild the population. Most crappies feed at night so evning seems to be better, you can catch them during the day. Hope this helps. COOKIE Name: Troy Upper_Red_LakeHey cookie where did you get your nick name. You must be on URL about every day! I think you have the girl that every sportsman wants. You know she will catch the 16 inch crappie we are looking for. You seem to know URL like the back of your hand. How is the crappie contest going to effect the fishing? My dad is going to experience URL for the first time I don't care about loading up on the fish I just wan't him to get a little action and see what a slab really looks like. Any advice We will take. Name: Cliff Johnsdon Brainerd_AreaWas wondering if anybody knows a new resort owner in the Bemijie area by the name of Jim Ball. He was close to my home town and would like to contact him about fishing this summer some timde Email me if you know Name: Cliff Upper_Red_LakeThanks Cookie. My freinds were over today. Showed them the note you sent. They beleive me now. Also had pictures from my son in Grand Rapids, today to prove it. Thanks Cliff Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeBuck fishing area will be determined on saturday morning as they do not want people pre fishing in the contest area. I beleave all area merchants have tickets. Matt roads go out up to 8 miles or so. No secret spots have been fishing soft bottom all yesr, seem like walleyes are on the hard bottom. Ricky the fishing has been spotty for most,alot of area is not being fished. The cribs are man made structures dropped in the lake to attrack bait fish which in turn attract game fish,which in turn attract fishermen. The ice is over 30 inches, bring a extension. Crappies and perch are open but northeren are closed and walleye are closed year round at this time. Crappies are night time feeders so evning is better,I would say the average crappie on this lake is 13 inches, that would be a average. I have caught numerous crappies over 14 inches and released many of them. Just to catch them is incredible. GOOD LUCK COOKIE Name: mnhunter64 Upper_Red_LakeThanks Honzy.Are we better off going on the lake from the south such as Rogers or off the upper east such as Hudec's? Name: Matt K Lake_of_the_WoodsI'm going to Warroad this weekend, first time ice fishing on the big lake. Is Walleye fishing any good out of Warroad or should i just drive over to Zipple Bay?
