Good news is we relocated our floating dock to deeper water, and I've started catching BCP off the end of the dock.

I'm thinking about placing some "Georgia Attractors" at the end of the dock to increase our harvest rate. They did well in this evaluation: http://www.ncwildlife.org/News/Blogs/NCW...ctor-Study.aspx

Anybody have an feedback on these? Other options?

Thanks, Dale


Yeah that's been my recipe for success....I'm averaging no less than 350 adult crappie removed every year for the last 5 or so. And thus far I'm not suffering from any of the issues that the forum in general is worried about...overpopulation, stunting, etc.

Side note - they're delicious and a ton of fun to catch!
