If you are going for crappie I would head to Sinlcair.....Juliette is VERY TOUGH to even find crappie at....not to mention if you have a outboard over 25HP you can crank it.....
Also- here is a post I put on another reply about my recent trip to Sinclair:
I would certainly try Beaverdam Creek and also head out to Nancy Creek if you can, I was up there less than 2 weeks ago and caught 23 in less than 4 hours.....they are starting to move shallower, so I am not sure if they will still be up that way.....the water is about 17 - 28 ft deep and we were finding them suspended somewhere between 7 and 11 ft or so.....
We slow-trolled with 16 rods....single rigged 1/16 and 1/32 oz jig heads, mostly AWD, tripple ripple and Kalin's rigged on as our baits....we caught most of our fish on some flavor of green. (i.e. tree-toad, green crawfish, green/black w/ firetail, etc.) We trolled approx. 1.0 - 1.4 mph, we also hooked up with about 6 - 7 good size hybrids up there too.....
Let me know how you do....
I won't be at work........I'm feelin' crappie today!
