We, the "Friends of CJ Brown Reservoir" have secured OFFICIAL permission for this our last and final cover drop into the depths of CJ Brown. There will be no more...there for, if the thought ever crossed your mind to attempt to create your own ice fishing "honey hole" we are welcoming all whom are interested to join us in this final effort. We will largely be posting on "Ohio Game Fishing> Regional Fishing Reports> SW Ohio> CJ Brown Water Temps". We are going to try to "splash" at least 300 attractors and create at least 3 "CC"s (Crayfish Condos) in this endeavor. There will be a "Meet and Greet" in April, and we are already beginning to stock pile materials in the Park`s Maint dump lane. Come join us for 1 last "splash". BTW, the GPS coordinates will NOT be posted, however participents and donors of materials WILL be given them if so desired...and again THANK YOU sincerely for the many here who have helped us in the past...you know whom you are !

A few of the herd were going to try to get together shortly at CJ, ASSUMING we get SAFE (4") of ice; possibly upon the old barn foundation (#26A and B) or any other spot that is agreeable...what say you all ? The more the merrier I would hope...

The "Friends" were active once more upon the waters of CJ; approx 270+ more attractors of a variety of types were "splashed'. I was not able to be directly involved, but the `motley crew` did us proud. Incidently, COE and ODNR DIDNOT require that the group make the GPS positions "public knowledge" this time. (But if you got a good side scan...)

 This series is in return for the help given by many persons here to help us...all of these positions are inside the Marina and are the raw actual GPS #s; all sets are of 12 cedar and/ or hard wood "BB"s (brush blocks) in lines from shallow to the transition from riprap to the pan of the Marina...inside the North breakwater  N 39 57. 437 W 83 43. 269  N 39 57. 426 W 83 43. 303  N 39 57. 415 W 83 43. 310  inside of the South breakwater from the turn at the mouth of the Marina  N39 57. 394 W 83 43. 354  N 39 57.386 W 83 43. 356  N 39 57. 376 W 83 43. 358  N 39 57. 366 W 83 43. 360  N 39 57. 356 W 83 43. 362  N 39 57. 353 W 83 43. 348   in front of baitshop  N 39 57. 358 W 83 43. 312  N 39 57. 356 W 83 43. 314  N 39 57. 345 W 83 43. 315  W of Marina boat ramp  N 39 57. 346 W 83 43. 282  North East corner of Marina  N 39 57. 400 W 83 57. 181   South East corner of Marina  N 39 57. 346 W 83 43. 234

 Hello! My name is Lowell H Turner, am 1 of the "Friends of CJ Brown Reservoir", we are doing the "Lake Erie South 2+" project there. Was impressed with some of the posts; haven`t managed to get out much so far due to various reasons. Is any of the deeper cover producing? Specifically, the ravine E of Crabill House (#8A and B, 20- 25+ fow) the N side of the RR bridge embuttment N of the Campground (#3) the gravel bar NW of the Marina (#18 series) and the  area just S of the S corner of the mouth of the Emergency Spillway, about 85- 95` from it (#9C, 20 fow 30` offshore). Lastly the remains of the old RR bridge due W of the NW corner of the Camper`s Point. Have origional 1964 Army Corps survey maps of the whole lake we are using for the project. Will say too we are still looking for help when the weather improves to assemble, load and place another 300 in approved spots; you feedback HELPS us to do a better job for the following yr...as said we are looking for help LATER to get them ready to place. Thanks and DO please give us feed back...
