I was down there a couple of weeks ago. The ramp is usable.

Mike: How are y'all doin'? You and Roy been clean'n up at AH?

Oldboat: Ron isn't it, have not talked long time. I also have a yak but have not yet tried it on JBT. Let us know how ya do!

I may actually be able to go fishing this weekend, couple of questions; any suggestions for crappie areas? I will be tubing and dont have a fish finder on it as of yet. Second not crappie related but are the blues and channels spawning at this time? I would suspect the blues would be uplake if so, is there access for a tuber there?

thanks

Crappie in the sticks and the cats at west end of the lake. Click the link to JBT fishing in my signature and there's a map on my website with all the hot spots.

i did not get to fish as long as i hoped but fished for about an hour just working brush from ramp to damn did not catch any did have a couple bumps with crappie jigs. i have not been out there in a long time water is way up.

Hello Folks;
Water way up and then some. Lightning and thunder this a.m. bad for mowing the grass today, guess I'll have to go fishin instead.LOL. Give report when I get back from the Westend, going for CCats!

Several nice Ccats from the west end flooded veg. flipping cutbait and working it like a jig nice and easy. They would slam it!! All in the early a.m. 3' 5' depth. No crappie, just those 2-5lb. Ccats and Blues.

Go check out the pics of the 40 LB Yellow Cat on the JBT Catfish Report (TFF)

Wow did he catch that 40lb cat with a rod and reel, trotline or jugline I wonder.

On a trotline with cut shad.

I am hoping to go out to JBT for my first trip this weekend. What are the chances of setting a few juglines up in the west end and how deep is it up there? Are there many people fishing with juglines or mostly rod and reel or trotlines?

Hey Sandwich,
Doing any good at JB, havent heard any reports lately, I will most likely not fish JB for some time but like to keep updated just incase I get the chance to go.
Thanks TK

Yeah, there's some fish to be caught. Lots of people catfishing and a few doing well spooning the whites. Finding some crappie on brushpiles and dropoffs, but they haven't really recovered from the spawn, late as it is. Haven't started fattening up on the shad. No big numbers, but some fairly nice fish.

Sounds good,
Thanks for the report. let us know if anything picks up.
This rain as good as it is has got everthing offtrack it seems.

The one rule that always works for me in the lakes I fish in this area: A lot of fish will follow the brush. If it was in 10' before the rise and now it's 14', there will be fish on it. But in the summer, there will usually be better fish in the 9'-13' range, regardless of rises or declines. It is a rule that has served me well at JB, Stamford, Albany, Miller Creek, and most all the lakes around here. Might scout out brush or trees in that range, see if it works for you.
