Taking the family to Fifth Crow Wing lake, in couple weeks. Never fished it, so looking for any insight on fishing this lake. Kids will want to fish bluegills and crappies; and I will be looking for walleyes. If you have an experience with this lake, I would greatly appreciate some tips.

No experience on that particular lake but crappie tubes and Berkley crappie nibbles can't be beat around most weed lines/bulrushs for blugills. For the Walters you may have to head east from that location about 30 minutes and fish Leech Lake.

My folks have a cabin on Third Crow Wing. I rode the struggle bus for a long time trying to find fish worth catching, so my wife hired a fishing guide. Know his secret? Drag half crawlers around on a bullet weight near the weedlines or by the inlet.

Didn't catch eyes, but we did catch a bunch of bull gills in the 10-inch range.

Switched gears for crappies and pitched small black jigs tipped with black twister tails near the wild rice. Couldn't find any numbers, but managed a few in the 11-12 inch range.

Just curious, why 5th Crow Wing? There are a total of 11 lakes in the Crow Wing chain and literally dozens of lakes in that immediate area.
