Went to CJ about 3 PM yesterday and worked the Marina. The Crappies were quite active and suspended between 5 and 9 feet of water. I probably caught 30 fish altogether (with some nice released keepers). The crappies are moving from dock to dock. If you dont have a flasher you would never know they were passing through. I would move up and down a string of docks about every 5 to 10 minutes following them. SaugeyeMarc joined me for about an hour or so....kinda uglied up the scenery :P

I have to agree with Marc. I am assuming the initial drops were completed with the state having input as where NOT to place the attractors. This leaves a bit of leeway. Whats done is done. All the hard work that went into the initial drops is admirable and was done for love of the lake. I personally have never needed to fish the attractors and I get my limits rather easily. I have spent many years fishing CJ (along with Marc) and I fish spots within spots. 3 or 4 large rocks in a small flat, small transition areas (such as black clay to red clay with gravel bordering, the old sand traps, both known and unknown fresh water springs).

I have seen some of the more published spots now devoid of walleyes since the attractors have been dropped. For me its not an issue, I can simply move to my c,d,e,f or g spots ;D and keep putting fish in the livewell. My concern is mainly with the freelancing that is going on that I have read about on other sites. I guess we will find out what impact the latrine biologists will have on the movement of Eyes within CJ. Crappies (including slabs) have always been rather easy to catch and will continue to be easily caught. I hope to see size increases in spots that I normally catch the 13 and 14 inch fish. I have seen more 10 and 11 inch fish since the drops so it seems to be working for the crappies. I welcome healthy debate so feel free to reply.

Just to let you know...your phone call prompted me to drive the whole 2 miles to CJ and fish from about 4:30 to 5:45. I chose an area with brush, right next to the breakwall on the main ramp..the fish were jumping on anything you dropped down to them. At one point I turned off my Marcum. I quit counting at 38. I only had 7 that were 8 inches with most if the fish running 11 and a few 12s. They got bigger as it got later. They were still hitting when I left. Jr ran out to the foundation, and had a better bite than I did. He had 2 fish break him off. He never saw them. The average crappie he was getting ran about 12 inches. The Ice was still 10 inches and solid everywhere I poked a hole.

Hit CJ and ran the area off the old Boat ramp first. Caught 41 Crappies and 5 perch on a hard bottom flat in 16 ft of water. The bite died about 3:30 pm. I moved to another of my favorite softwater areas and found few fish. It was about 4:30 when a friend joined me (Saugeyemarc tipped him off that I was out) We decided to hit the foundation west of the old Buoy line. We absolutely slayed the crappies. We pulled fish on each drop down for about 1 hr and 15 mins. All really nice crappies and I had a Walleye break off just shy of the hole. The fish were still hitting when we left. Ice was still great. 8 inches of clear was the thinnest I found. The edges were solid.

I wish I had figured the perch bite out quicker. I would have had more than the 11 keepers I left with. I stayed till 7 pm. It never got hot but it was steady. I had one perch go just shy of 12 inches. I wont be able to get out till later this week. Looks like the Ice will be gone with this weather forecast. No problem..my boat sits ready in a heated garage. I have never winterized it..just sits ready for our warm spells during winter.
