I fish a large pond throughout out the year and have always done really well. I caught several 2lbs+ crappie out of this pond over the fall. There're two bubblers in the middle of this pond. Now ice has formed everywhere except for about a 50ft. diameter around the bubblers. The average depth of the pond is 10ft. with the deepest spot at 15ft. I have been ice fishing here numerous times this winter but have only been able to find small Gills. Where have all the Crappie gone? Would they perfer to hang around the bubblers which i cant get to? I have drilled thousands of holes in just about every available inch of ice and have still been unable to mark them on my vexlair. Any advice for Crappie Ice fishing?

crappies hate cold water. i fish for crappies in this one lake, when it hit fall, all the crappies stop biting; 100 casts and 10 small ones bite. when the temperature decreases, the top of the water geys cold so crappies goes into deep water. fish for them in the deepest areas. good luck!

Crappie don't like the cold. They are gonna be wherever the water is warmest, so cast a long line towards the bubblers my friend.

Try casting a long line. If you get one then you know they are there. I, myself would buy a small rubber bottomed boat and attach a long rope to it so I could pull myself back on the ice......:)
