Catch some Crappie action!
The Crappie action in the Park Rapids area is on fire and the fish just keep getting bigger.
Crappies up to 16 inches have been caught this week using 1/16 oz jigs tipped with a small white twister tail or a Croppie minnows making a long cast and slowly swimming the jig back to the boat in depths of 2 to 4 feet of water. The Walleye action has also picked up nicely trolling crankbaits over shallow sand weed flats in the 6-10 ft depth range.
Shiner or Perch patterns have been working the best. The bass are spawning so they will hit anything thrown at them. A senko worm rig has been extremely effective. Please release the bass.
