CJ WATER TEMPS AND FISHING THREAD!

So what is the pressure like during mid week on CJ? How is the campground? I may have to try it for a few days next summer.

The majority of the mid week during the summer fairly quiet. The week of the Clark County Fair it`s dead. Nice cabins, fairly nice campground. Great fishing if you can read the patterns; there are some 10+ pd walleye and ODNR apparently shocked up several crappies larger than the current state record several years ago. Plus there are a few VERY large cats...

During mid-week your typically going to deal with 10 boats, until late afternoon...that's on 2200+ acres...our hidden gem...weekends are terrible after noon. Entering the Fall, you may see 5 boats. Like Lowell said, Cabins are superb, campgrounds are Very nice...electric, showers, etc.
Downtime lives close to CJ and camps out there in his trailer...maybe he will chime in.

I have been fishing CJ for about 6 years now. and agree over the years the fishing has gotten better and better. have had days where I was doing everything wrong and have had days where I could do no wrong. conditions are tough right now, I have been allover the lake this year and have fished so many new spots. the last time I was out it took me about 4 hours to figure out what they wanted. people need to remember a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.

CJ now has warnings for e-coli....Due to raw sewage, feces, etc....wonderful!
Also an advisory to limit fish intake...I'm sorry, but I won't be keeping and eating any, anytime soon.

I feel a rant coming on so I'm done!

Went out this morning from about 7:15 to 11:30 and noticed a scum on the water that looked brown in the main lake. Makes me wonder if someone dumped or spread manure/sludge up stream before the last rain.Water temp was 75-78deg marked fish all over and with two boats out and three fishing,three fish caught I think until the water clears (find out what caused it) I WILL NOT be on CJ but will check in at the ODNR office to see about the water issues and whats being done next week.

Hey Paul, keep us up to date...
I'M sorry, but if someone spread Manure, then they need to be shot....same as the idiots on the news, that were allowing their kids to swim with the advisory...that is child endangerment and they should have been arrested for being a bad parent! IMHO

The State blamed it on Sewage System overflow, bad Septic Systems, and yard fertilizer runoff....I guess Northridge is as crappy as they say!lol

Oh, now they are also saying that Bird poop could be a cause of the issue....so do we get to kill all the geese now???lol

[downtime]

What did they do not clean the beaches for a month and then wash it all in the lake? Put me on the list for the geese eradication posse.

Have access to a WW2 quad barrel 40MM Bofors anti-aircraft mount, any 40MM ammo out there ? Proximity rounds preferably...take out a WHOLE "V" of them at once with 1 round !
