Just wondering if anyone has a recent report out of CJ lately? Thinking of taking my sons out this weekend on the boat and I wasn't sure where to go, either CJ or Lake Lowell.Thanks..

Was out last Friday. Fishing pretty consistent for perch and small crappie. Caught half a dozen or so really nice perch 12 inches +. Went up the snake arm for smallmouth. Tough to hook but lots of action, ones we did hook were dandys. Good luck.

Thanks for the report. If I have enough gas money I'm gonna hit CJ.[fishin]

Did you get to go?
I went yesterday. We hit the water at 6:15 and fished the Narrows. The action was good until around 9:00, then either they stopped biting or the school we were anchored over moved on. Bites were sparse the rest of the day.
We caught 3 good crappie, about 6 good perch, several small to mid-size perch (5-9"), a bluegill, a pikeminnow, and a few dinky smallmouth.
Everything was deep. We were over 25' of water and almost every fish was picked up within 2' of the bottom. I think this is the first trip to CJ that I caught more perch than little bass. I guess they headed for deeper water too?
Water temperature was 76 before sunrise and 78 when I left at 2:00. Water clarity was much better than I expected. I could see my red/white jig about 4' down.

We hit CJ strike on Sat. We caught a bunch, mostly little guy's but we had a blast... Couldnt keep the little bass off the hooks, they were hitting crank baits twice there size..lol
