Thread: CJ Brown 2018

If a fish attractor is gently and lovingly lowered into the waters of a reservoir near me and then released to go to its final resting place seen only by GPS enabled sonar will anyone hear it ? Not if it's done in the wee hours of a rainy early morning with few to no witnesses...

Went out yesterday for a couple hours....one 20 inch Gator and 12 nice 11+ inch crappie were harvested. 2 boats out, no one else seen!
With over 4 inches of rain you can see the creek flows and currents.
Water is green but still clear for as much rain as we've had. Chartreuse and white worked in the depths with the sun being out.

is the water in CJ still in good shape. I fish from the bank and was looking for a place to go after crappie this weekend cant think of any other lakes that might look decent. any advice would appreciate.

Went out last night...CJ is in Great shape! Have no idea what the water temp is, but it went down to 38 last weekend, then we had almost 5 inches of 60 degree rain which took it to summer pool in 2 days. that's about 600 acres of fresh warm water. lol

Thanks for the information. Going to check out rocky fork this evening then decide where to go.

I thought I heard spliching sounds (phonic spelling) last night too, but I thought you might have dropped your CELL PHONE AGAIN.

Fritz, get your gear ready, you have a wallygator to wrestle shortly...

Went out this morning from 7:30am until 10:30am...I was shocked!!!
I'll save my COE rant for those that care, but those f*&%$#@×+#$%^, dropped the lake from Summer pool back again to Winter pool.
The water was just rolling out still from the lower gates. I'm sorry but there's no forecast for any hurricanes or 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Idiots!
We worked hard to build this fishery and those idiots don't even have the courtesy to use the top gates!
Ended up going back to my early spring pattern, and went to my underwater island. Ended up with 13 legal Walleye, and 5 Nice Crappie.
I took 6 twenty inchers, and put 2 smaller and the biggest ones back...one was a 27 that went back in.
All has big shad in their bellies...but no eggs!
So far they like that New 4 inch Perch with Jeff's pink head.
Hopefully the COE decides to put the plug in for the WB spawn....IDIOTS!
