Minnesota Shallow Ice Crappie with Dave Genz

Classic shallow crappie pattern that produces fish on most Minnesota natural lakes. Jason Mitchell joins Dave Genz at late ice where we find crappie running the edges of shallow pencil reeds at last light. Great opportunity to catch nice crappie. Showcase the effectiveness of the Clam Silkie to add an insect-like, pulsating action to your jig that is deadly for panfish. Great tips and advice on how to catch crappie through the ice.

Fun to see Mr.Gentz still using his cheap blue box! They are enjoyable to remodel and add handy attachments to, for not much money.
