Temps at 0600 were 58.7 and 59.6 at 1100. Lots of debris and lake seemed to be getting ready to flip. Fishing was slow as expected. Maybe next time.

Heading up to CJ in the early morning.... according to earlier posts the morning isn’t the time to be there. Oh well, gonna give her hell anyway. I’ll post temps and results once I return home.

I appreciate the reply. Wasn’t sure how much ice would be there. I’m sure hoping this is about the last of the cold cold stuff. I’m not a fair weather type of guy, but I gotta draw the line when it’s...

Mr.Intimidator..... is the main boat launch feasible to put in? I’m just curious of the water levels up there. CC is a nightmare by some of the pics I’ve been sent. Thanks.

Hello again to all. It’s been at least a year since my last post. Been busy with life, kids, work, and a total house remodel. I only made it to CJ once last year. As a matter of fact I only made it...

And I also forgot to mention that I used Offshore Tackle Tadpole divers to get those Arkie cranks down to that depth. By themselves they'll only run 6-7' deep. Just to clarify.

Been a while since I've posted.. I finally made it up to CJ on 7/20. Having not been up there all year I decided to just troll so I could cover water and locate fish for my next trip. So, I marked...

Beautiful on the lake this morning! Water levels were up a bit and the lake was a coffee color. I guess the rains from the weekend stirred her up. Had about 16" of clarity at best. Caught 13 craps...

Been awhile since I've been up to CJ. I've been hittin Caesars the last couple months. Went to CJ on 9/5 and pulled some cranks. Caught over 45 crappies in 3.5 hours. 5 stinkin cats and one wall...

Hit the CJ for the first time today. Needless to say, it was a rough and wet endeavor. Lake looked good and I marked plenty of areas with fish stacked on top of each other. One hit and got away, but...

There's definitely a need for officers and rangers in the park. I wouldn't go as far to say they don't serve a real purpose. They do and for the most part have a difficult job most of us couldn't do....

Let me know what Barney says about your flashlight idea. You might only be able to navigate by the light of the moon! LOL!

Been a while since my last post....commitments and obligations have relegated my fishing to all last minute trips. During the summer CJ was a brute. Just offering enough to bring me back. I do a...

She opened up her arms and took the monkey off my back! Eye in the boat Friday morning! Finally. Wasn't but 16" but nonetheless what I've been after. Also caught a few Crapps but only kept 4. So one...

I appreciate the feedback. I plan on making it up there Friday morning. After work. Wasn't sure how all of the rain filters into the lake. I pulled various aerial maps up just to see the flow age...

I was out of town on vacation this week. We had plenty of rain as well. No boating, just hittin some old farm ponds. Deer flies,ticks, and skeeters seemed to hover around the entire time. Anyhow, I...

Went out this morning. Hit the water around 0700. We were on a gator trolling mission. As the kids say these days....the mission was an EPIC fail. We did manage to catch 6 crappies with only...

I appreciate the feedback! I'm headed to the big lake up north this weekend. Hopefully, I'll put some food in the freezer. Once I get back I hope CJ is back to looking like normal. I'll be headed...

Made it out to CJ on Friday morning. I've never seen the lake with so much stuff floating around. It was a floating lumberyard! My buddy's prop got boogered up from a large limb unseen while going...

Hello again.. One bird down last week and going to try again this weekend. Watching the reports on CJ has made me decide to hunt a couple more days. Seems the weather pattern is starting to change...
