231-acre lake near Crow Wing County. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1960, a decades-old survey (a topographic-map survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Daggett maps at 231 acres behind 6.6 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 3.1, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 75% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 1.8 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. It sits in Crow Wing County. If the bite dies, Little Pine is 1 mi to the northeast.
Start shallow in spring: cisco (lake herring) sit in 6 to 25 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 8 to 25 ft covers summer, 8 to 25 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for cisco (lake herring) in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (25 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 8 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (25 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 25 ft before dropping to 8 to 25 ft for winter. Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 10 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |

The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in fall. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.

It's a drop-off holding about 10 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

Come spring, look for largemouth bass tight to the bank in 2 to 10 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 25 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 10 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
