Price County Fishing Report 8 - 19 2013
Crappie action has been the talk of the shop this week, they have been hanging around mid-lake mud flats with some fish coming off of cribs. Slip Bobbers, Jig and Minnow and Jig and Plastics have all been taking Crappie.
The Perch and Bluegill are hanging around the cribs and any deep wood or other structures that you may find. We have been getting gills out to 20 feet of water and perch even deeper. I have been using a 1/16oz jig with a chunk of crawler on it. When I have kids in the boat I just get over the top of the structure and let them drop a plain hook and split shot straight down with a crawler and tell them to hold on. You never know what your going to catch when your fishing this way, I have caught Walleye, Smallmouth, Perch, Bluegill, Crappie, Northern, and Rock Bass in the last few outings on a 1/16oz jig and crawler.

Musky action has been good, we are still getting fish on Blades and Topwater but I am starting to use some glide baits again with luck. The cooler water temps pushed them a little shallower then you would normally find them this time of year but it looks like a warm week might change things a little bit before the next weekend.
Largemouth Bass action has been good too. We are still using frogs in the thick cover, when were not on the frog bite a senko style worm rigged weedless or wacky have been producing well.
