CJ WATER TEMPS AND FISHING THREAD!

[CrappiePro]

Born and Raised in Dayton/Huber Hts area...Don't know how many crappie myself as a kid and young man and family caught along that rip rap bank in the last pic back in the 70's and early 80's until I joined the military in 82. I know it was allot. Great thread that brought me back home with some great memories. Thanks Guys.

I did pick up on the David Allen Coe theme!

You're definitely in a Good area for BIG SLAB Crappie fishing, I'm envious!....I took ALOT of my knowledge and experience living in the South, and tried to use it to help CJ when the GROUP got together to try and make CJ better.
Hopefully we get to the point at CJ where we have a Solid Crappie Fishery where NICE SLABS are common.
Before we started the average Slab was probably 7-8 inches and fish over 12 were becoming rare, due to the overfishing, loss of cover, shad kills, etc...IMHO, I would now guess the AVERAGE fish is getting close to 10, and fish from 13 to 15 are more common, with a few 17's being caught.
Between the Size and Creel limits, along with the Projects, things are really looking up for us!

What about a meet and greet this Saturday for breakfast in the Springfield area ?

[Gale Cox]

Dang it, I would normally be in for a meet and greet, as I have already done so with a few of the folks from the ole' OGF CJ Brown thread for the creating of all the habitat. Sadly I will be out of town and won't be back till later that day.
