our trip across the border, ontario slabs
hey all,
just found my way to crappie.com.
first post.
I've been looking for a place to find people who like to share tips and bounce theories off for my crappie chasing ventures.
I'm not the guy to chase the crowd.
I like to seek and destroy, especially in areas that have not previously been know to the general public.
anyway, a few friends and I take a trip to ontario north of fort frances each spring, three years running now to chase big slab crappies.
know this, in MN a 15 inch crappie is HUGE and anything bigger is what the hunt is all about.
I would love to make it down south where you fellas catch three pound slabs regularily.
my goal had been a 16 inch black crappie(never fished nor caught a white crappie) and this past week, my youngest son caught that 16 incher on his first trip out of the country.
I will share some pictures. this one is me with a couple nice fish.

Andrew's hog 16 inch before it was packed away in snow to prevent damage during the portages.

I hope the pics work and I would be happy to answer any questions regarding our trip or anything else crappie for that matter. I have plenty of questions myself to ask.
have a great day!
