Look for crappies in 10 to 14 feet in Baker’s Bay on Lake Washington. The west side of Lake Francis is kicking out sunfish and crappies in six feet or less. Work the south end of German Lake for panfish in 10 to 12 feet. Buckmaster Bridge on Madison Lake is giving up crappies. ALEXANDRIA AREA The shallow bays on most small lakes started producing crappies. The afternoon hours have been best once the water warms. Look for small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms to work best. The bigger lakes have yet to produce much for panfish. ANNANDALE AREA Sunfish and crappies have shown up in good numbers throughout the shallow bays and channel areas. Waxworms, minnows, and Berkley Gulp are all turning fish at Clearwater Lake, Cedar Lake, Lake Sylvia, and Pleasant Lake in less than six feet. BATTLE LAKE The ice is out and the crappies have started to hit in the bays and shoreline areas of East Battle Lake, Ten Mile Lake, and West Battle Lake. The best sunfish reports are coming off Deer Lake and Mollie Stark Lake in two to six feet of water. BEMIDJI AREA There was some ice floating on the big lakes early this week, but it was going fast. Most small lakes now have opened, but panfish reports have been limited. Look for this to improve by the weekend. BLACKDUCK AREA The small lakes are open and the ice is going out quickly on the bigger bodies of water. Lakes such as Rabideau and Gilstead should be the first spots to check for crappies in very shallow water with minnows. BRAINERD/NISSWA AREA Crappie fishing has picked up this week in the bays, channels, and harbor areas of Gull Lake. The smaller lakes also have started producing panfish, most of which are coming from less than five feet of water. Nisswa, Margaret, North Long, and Round are all worth noting. CASS LAKE AREA
