Bob Jr. Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 A few years ago I noticed ice huts just out from shore at the boat launch at Crystal Beach, would there be any sense fishing off shore there and what would be in for fish ? Does anyone know the area ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Rocky...shallow....slime covered bottom...and busy in the warm water season.....that being said if you can figure out a presentation to stay out of the snags and the slime....perch...walleye...smallies....but not an ideal fishing spot you gotta work for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Haha...that reminds me of being a little kid...scrounging up whatever we could for tackle and bait....rocks...nuts and bolts....find a worm under a rock...catch a sunfish....cut up the sunfish and use it to catch 100 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Back on topic...with bait a slip float big enough to cast way out...but as mentioned..that's area...and down stream by where the palm wood was....not a very ideal fishing spot...too shallow in a big part of it....gets bad for slimy weeds when the water is warm....and it's a zoo of boat traffic ect..

If using weights , I tie the hooks higher on the line and keep the tip of the rod high . How about tossing small crank baits over those rocks ?
