What ya'll know about JPL?

Seems like a lake that offers a variety of opportunity. I've been on it 3 times, I believe. Once was for the Brother Blue tourney with a buddy and two times were just for fun with the same buddy - one of those trips resulted in my friend's PB on a wake bait and the other was a short, late afternoon trip with no fish. It's obviously got BIG fish in respectable numbers. To me it seems like a good offshore pond for bigguns. Trees, roadbeds, shallow pockets with timber, feeder creeks, what do you like best about JP?

JP's an awesome guy.

He was an awesome guy. RIP & God bless.

Too many jet ski's and drunks for me. Been there twice, my first and last time. Steez McQueen loves it though.

I will not be going on the weekend. Ever. I know that much about JP. Heck naw.

It's my favorite "deep water bite" lake.

It's also my favorite boat ramp entertainment lake. No other lake compares when it comes to ignorant boat owners.

Yep, looks sumpin like this :

Reminds me of this...

That's pretty good.

This has been very helpful.

Haha. Joe Pool is a hard lake to learn. I'm not surprised that the lack of help is what it is.....

I'll give you two "community holes" that hold big fish.

The saddle of rocks that extend off the dam, just south east of the pump station. Sit in 10-12 ft and throw a c rig in 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock l, etc.

The other is the HUGE brush piles in from ofnthe old cedar hill park marina.

Use a watermelon red lizard or a Houdini colored fluke.

There ya go soldier.

The other 9million spots you gotta find on your own.

Better hurry up and get there fish, there'll be 20 boats on each spot by tomorrow morning.

I'd help you but after a couple of years I thought that I had it figured out and now this year it is as if it changed on me. I am having virtually no luck out there day or night. I don't even look forward to going any more. Good luck on the holes. that brush pile always has a boat sitting on it.

Yep. Like vultures.

When all else fails, flip the bridge pilings with a wacky or drop shot worm... be patient and you'll get bit.

Thanks, Steeze. I know JPL has bigguns so I’m looking forward to figuring it out best I can.

Oh man, thanks for making my day. Just sitting here laughing!

I feel the exact same way. This year has been really tough. I haven’t been going as often as I used to, but it’s been really tough. I fished almost all day out there yesterday and got skunked. And to make matters worse I found a 24-25”’bass floating, guarantee it was a DD.

Here is a picture of it. Big one. I didn’t see any fresh hook marks or anything like that. Just floating out on the main lake. I saw a few small ones floating in different areas also.

I think I'm gonna be sick.
