Ct. Crappie action

[P.DONA]

What a morning!! Our mission was to search out, and find where the Crappie move and hold this time of the year for our ice adventures. Sunday am, from 6:30 to about 10:30 am. Our 2 fish finders and my Aqua View helped out tremedously!! I could see the bottom, and up to 4-5 crappie on the camera when in the Zone. They weren't holding to any of the structure down there, just in a certain area

Water temp was from 52-54 degrees..

We found them in about 20-25 feet with small jigs, I used a Northland rattle jighead/2.5" finness shad, my friend used a small jig, I'm not sure what kind. (I think I caught a couple more than he did ) right on the bottom. In about a 2.5 period of time, we had double hook ups, and threw back about 50+ crappie!! We kept 17 for the table.. Near the end of that time, I called my Dad to join us. He appeared, got into the boat and we proceeded to catch only a couple more

I brought 4 paddle bouys that helped us pinpoint were they were on the finders. Looking at them both, we hooked up most of the time when the wind blue us between them...

Things are starting to lock up. I'll be on the ice next weekend (12/16) if things work out right.
