Searching for crappie with a beetle spin in a small lake where they might have ice fished them out

[tiefsa]

I started ice fishing a particular lake a lot this year, and caught zero crappie on it. This spring I caught a 14 1/2 inch crappie there twice, but I think it was the same fish (caught it on two different trips). I went back with a beetle spin to try and catch crappie because I think they might have all been fished out (there were plenty of other ice fisherman on this lake at times and some had Panoptix).

Cool video. I guess the hot weather we sent from Socal awhile back got rid of all the ice.
Maybe someone caught that 14.5in. slab and
took it home for the grill?

That certainly is possible.
