I have not been to Jacks Creek in a while. I do know it is the shallow area of the Bruneau pool. I have caught a quite a few bass and some panfish there. Jacks creek west connects to cottonwood and i think the water is a good bit deeper there. I tend to use nightcrawlers or the grass hoppers that are everywhere this time of year. I too was thinking of going catfishing tonight. What will you be driving? If I see you I will stop in and say hi.

the shallow water can be a curse or a blessing in this area. the fist time i went there it was already dark when i arrived. i threw out a cricket and a 1 oz sinker. the line slacked immediately. i doubt it was four feet deep 150 feet from shore . but for an hour i couldn't keep the cats off my line long enough to finish a beer! i thought i found a gloryhole......but it wasn't to be. i went there three times after that and got skunked. i heard a group whooping and holloring down towards cottonwood and they were slaying them. the next morning i investigated and found the water deeper and the fish very willing to bite. so it just depends where the fish are. i dont take all my gear out until i try it out in one depth or the other as it's not to fun to stare at a pole that never moves all night. as people have said the guy that owns the fishin' hole is very helpful in telling you the up todate hot spots..............i noticed the spots he told me got better when i bought a couple packs of rubber worms and some minnows! good luck guys !

What were you using for bait?

We used worms liver and cut bait and never even got a bite that was my first time there so I think the spot I chose just wasn't very good. It was very shallow..... I might just have to stick to brownlee and the river outside weiser ...... I was suprised not even a bite

That is weird. I'm heading to Jack's Friday. Might as well give it a try.

I went to the Dam at CJ rather than Jacks Creek. Fishing was good below the dam. 5 bass and a few bluegill.

I have fished Jacks a couple of times for cats and have been skunked every time. If I have the time to chase catrs I want to go where there are cats. Ron

I do to, but I have to go out to the Air Base to get my boat out of storage so I can try and fix the engine and replace the floor. So since I'm out that way figured I go hit Jack's Creek area. Now I'm thinking of trying to find the deeper holes by Cottonwood. Never fished that area before so it will be trial and error.
