I do get out there in the spring for some panfish.  We sure could meet up.  I prefer to fish walleye and don't usually fish that lake for them however I have caught a few out there before.

so my guess is you head to the shallow bay south of old wagon where everyone else goes. yea i,ve caught a few eyes out there, mainly when fishin for sunfish. seen some dandies on my camera. there just really tough to target an catch.

Most of my walleye fishing is done at night on other lakes in 10 ft or less.  I fish for crappies usually in the bays.  I have also had some luck ice fishing out there in the past.

One would think Koronis would be the spot.  When I've gone out there I have done ok.  But Green is closer.  Good luck fishing this weekend.  When I'm ice fishing crappies out on Long it's usually in the deep hole off the point.
