Thread: Brookville 2-11-17

Almost all of the usable ramps have issues at brookville have
Issues at winter pool. At quakertown last week a few guys dropped
their trailers off the end. The docks and rocks suck at bonwell. And I have
Seen a few 4x4's that needed snorkels at Fairfield.
Good luck

Fished Brookville Thursday 3/9 Spider rigging 12 ft up to 8 ft took a limit in about 4 hours and threw back some smalls but not many. Bite was Kinda lite any color jig and minnow combination seemed to work 1/16 - 1/32 and plain minnows also. Larger curly tail type jigs have not seemed to work for me yet. Seemed to be relating to breaks in depth and submerged structure. Had a guy fishing near me using cork and minnows doing VERY WELL also,he was fishing submerged brush right of the bank in about 8-10 ft. Water temp was measured as high as 52 degrees.Bite was good until wind picked up about 1:00 and boat control became an issue.Speed varied average about .3 Gonna pull the trigger on a new Terrova or Ulterra trolling motor so I can get better control of boat and trolling speed. This twelve volt motor just doesn't hold up to much wind.

Are they bringing the lake up yet?

No Dave the lake rose 2 feet after the rain we had and they lowered it a few days later.

They usually don't close the gates on the dam till April 15th.

Looks like a good day

Found some dandys today Fish were in 12 - 15 ft and near submerged brush or near the bottom. Spider rigging double 1/32 OZ and 1/16 0z tipped with minnows. Water temp dropped to 40 - 42. Plain 1/32 oz chartreuse jigs tipped with minnows were best. No dinks yet this year!

Nice job!
