I put two post on Buck Creek state park by mistake.  Only working Mon and Fri. for the past six weeks I've spent the rest of the days out on C.J.  Normally I make several trips to indian but have had so much success on C.J. that I haven't gone anywhere else.  My best day for eyes was last saturday.  Fishing on a 16 foot hump surrounded by 20+feet of water I caught 32 Crappies over 11" and five eyes between 21-26"  all eyes came on a clown glow jigging shadrap.  Most of my crappies have come on glow green, glow blue, glow clown and glow perch shadraps.  Jigging rapalas are catching them as well.  I've had many 50+ keeper crappie days since first ice.  If your not on the main lake your not going to catch many keepers as the marina has been worn out.  Not to say you won't find a good day there just a luck of the draw.  15' and deeper has been the key.  Brush piles are baby factories and I not bothering with them.  Did well on the main lake humps and deep railroad bed.  Also in areas around the Crabil house though that area had alot of 8"ers.  Late morning is good for suspended fish if you have electronics to look for them.  When they suspend I've had better luck with tiny glow jigs and spoons.  If you want to know more check my post on Buck Creek state park.  If you aren't catch fish 1/2 hour after daylight move.  Nothing to be caught betwwn noon and 5 at least not by me. 

I don't usually post but since many are having problems at C.J. I guess it's time to help out.  1st.  The marina was good early in Dec.  It's always a 1st ice option but never lasts.  Not to say the occasional school doesn't show up and if you move alot you can catch fish there.  But here we are in Feb. and the fishing is on the main lake.  We've been having 50+ keeper crappie days consistantly since 1st ice.  Moved to the main lake the week before Christmas and have been killing them.  Occasionally walleyes are showing up with our catches.  I only work two days a week and have fished every other day.  The key is fishing 15-25' of water.  For large catches electronics are needed but without you'll still catch plenty of fish if you follow what I'm about to tell you.  During a trip to Cabela's I purchased a glow clown Rapala jigging shadrap and decided I tie it on and go for walleyes.  I went a couple hundred yards out of the marina to a ridge between gavel pits.  My first drop down produced a 13" crappie.  That day my partner and I caught over 80 keepers.  On a second rod (deadstick) we use tiny jigs and spoons.  Both raps and jigs need to be rigged with spikes or minnow heads.  Using electonics   con't
