Years ago I used red glow demons for the crappies.  Big suckers just below the ice will get you a giant pike.

We're bringing red darters, slender spoons, gold hammered blades. And if they are finicky, 1/16 oz red, orange and blue glow gigs.

what exactly is a red doger and gold hammered blade? lol ive heard of the slender spoons but couldnt find any at gander mountian last time i was there. where can i get those?


Dakids- i hear the crappies far and between now, but can still be had. i like the idea of catching a big pike throught he ice. thanks for the info

Lindy and Salmo make a chubby darter, in a red color.
Northland makes some gold hammered jigging spoons (I believe they are Northland, but could be wrong)
The slender spoons, I picked them up at Thorn Brothers.

I am heading up to Lake of the Woods on Saturday but if the fishing is slow we may move to Red lake for the remaining days of the trip.  I would like advice for where to go on the lake and who's resort to go out of.  We are taking a wheel house, so lodging is not a problem.  Any advice would be appreciated, I haven't been to Red since the crappie days.
