FFish, am gratefull for the invitation, alas, (literally!) am requiered to pretend to work on afore mentioned date, however, if may, do allow us to invite any and/ or all whom in any of adozen(or more) different ways assisted in the escapades so far, it is to be at 1PMish Sept 18th in the Visiter`s Center lower parking lot shelter house, unless we`re all out fishing. The general public is also invited, but do please bring a covered dish, ect. Adult supervision will be provided, unless they`re out fishing too. Bring a fishing pole  and BAIT if not a covered dish. If everyone`s out fishing, help yourself. Thank You to all who have helped get the project this far. Respectfully. the "Friends of CJ Brown Reservoir"

Assembled another 10. Slow going.

9 more assembled- thank you Fritz. More nice BIG shrubs at Lawn Masters terminal- thank you Matt and co. Looking forward to seeing some of the crew who helped do this increadible feat over the last 2 yrs tommorow at Visiter`s Center lower parking lot shelter house at 1PM. The public is invited, but please bring a covered dish/ pop/ chips, ect.

Another load of cedar in the lane. Had a good turn out for the get together; 16 turned up. We were priviledged to hear some high praise from the Park Manager and others as a group. We will try to finish by Nov. 1rst. Thank you to those whom helped. CJ Tackle donated close to $100 worth of prizes to be split up to those present. As a group we are awaiting the Spring walleye netting results and crappie spawn; THEY will tell the tale more so than any thing else. We shall see...all will KNOW the POWER of the DARK (deeper) SIDE of the FISH ATTRACTORS......(evil laughter sound effect here)

50 more assembled in lane, the "few" are down to 4...waiting to hear if deadline will be extended.

Got out today with son and his girlfriend, fished off #11C, 3 bites, 1  8" crappie, fished in shadow line from brakewater, 10- 15 mph wind out of W made things interesting. caught `em on an orange floating head jig 8- 10" off bottom, was hoping the tooth fairy might soon be there... better luck next time. Tight lines, not lips...

A good friend reports 18.5" smallmouth taken off #11A, well done Intimidator!! And NO, he ain`t a tail folder! He`s making us PROUD! (And maybe a little- hellL, ALOT jealous!!!)

Anyone fish the bass tourney at CJ today? Would love to hear how anyone did...

Back to the lane tommorow, will try to sink somemore Wed, will pass 700+...

Lake Erie! I was there summer before last, went through the Trent and over to the Georgian Bay. Tied up in Sandusky, weather was not good for fishing, but I did finaly get some pikes. It was my first trip there and I hope to return some day!

A long, long time ( a couple of decades ) ago, was serving in the "play army" upon said general area and was very gratefull to be in that specific  fishing locale. Prior to the Nat`l Guard being obviously desperate, had done 7 1/2 yrs active USN, had honestly seen some bad weather out at sea(ok, big nuke carrier), saw several GIANT tooth fairies in the Camp Perry Ohio breakwater rocks, several with fresh lures ("jaw jewelry") still dangling. Did go charter fishing;  To all my former fellow deep water sailors must confess, THAT body of water is weather temperMENTAL, with emphisis on MENTAL! On the outer reefs we saw a rock sticking 4-6 feet at least half the time we were there that was normally 5 fow, snagged several times, 5 of us (several involuntarily chumming, luckily overboard ) and we CAUGHT some LARGE wally gators- biggest 9.1, best could personally do was a nice stout 6.7, was delicous!  Pretty sure we took a limit (at that time) or very close to it, cut the anchor line to leave. Great trip, and yes, Definately still the walleye capital of the world! Still, somday want to catch a zander- european walleye realitive goes 65+ish lbs, bigger ones fished for with Kevlar or light steel wire lines...

"Splash"  52! Repeat , "splash "52 (more)!  Thank you to the Sugar Shackers, Steve, Fritz, and to the Intimidator, James and Rose. More later.

You guys keep up the good work Lowell.

Thank you, sir. Hopefully you will get to loot afew this winter, or spring at latest. With the full moon tonight wanted to try them, but have to be "good", have some "honey do" stuff to do in AM. Shortly will meet with Debra Walters to negotiate for approval to "splash" 300 more on 12 more "bonus points" targets... this coming Spring should see a wholesale slaughter the likes of which haven`t been seen at CJ in years...try to join us if you can...this will be GOOD11

WOULD LOVE to put 10 cedars infront of S "Forbidden Zone" sign on S retaining wall, but so far answer is"NO!! NO!! NO!!"  Would be a winner, am sure! Oh well! 20 in 2 sets X 10 each NW shore of Visiter`s Center lower parking lot turn around, shallow to deep. 230 total. 30 in 6 sets X5 each, on N and S shore of Emergency Spillway. 260 total so far. Any ideas on alternative placement are as always welcome. Will meet with Corps, ODNR early Dec to discuss these sites. If you fish CJ Brown, this is your chance to have imput where we`re gonna put the last 300. This chance  may not come again for a while. KEEP  IN MIND- we are REQUIRED to GPS and turn in positions to Corps, ODNR and Park Office. Thank you. Respectfully, The Friends of CJ Brown Reservoir.
