I fish C.J. brown 5 days a week all year round, ice or open water. Open water walleye fishing at CJ does not require wind. During July and August we concentrate on water depths between 5 and 9 ft. We rarely catch fish under 4lbs during the dog days of summer. Hot, humid and calm days seem to be the best. I used to travel to erie to fish for big eyes, but about 10 years ago I figured out the pattern on CJ, and I have had no reason to leave my back yard.
The fish relate to the creek channel that runs the length of the lake. They tend to move into the same areas at the same times, year after year.I live less than 2 miles from the lake, it is a FANTASTIC walleye lake and seems to be getting better every year. A lot of locals are pretty tight lipped about this lake,that is the reason you do not see alot of posts on this forum. I like giving out bits of info to help people out when they are on this lake. I have no problem answering
pms and even meeting a few of you at the ramp and let you see for yourselves
what a jewel of a lake it is. Right now there is an fantistic walleye, crappie and gill bite going. Wind sometimes helps in early and late spring, but ultimately, is not needed on this lake. I boated 27 eyes of varying lengths today from 9 am till 12:30 pm. I rarely keep fish to eat and if I do it is the average size, and just enough for a meal.
