This will be the thread for the New "Cover" Project for CJ!
Please post pics, questions, ideas, or anything else, dealing with the 2012"Reforestation Program"!
We will keep everyone updated on everything, right here!
what is this? what are they planning on doing at cj?
Hi Curtis and welcome. What this is , is several fisherman and women who have gotten together over the last few years to volunteer there time and recources to help make C.J. a better fishery for all who fish there. There have been several hundred areas of cover added to the lake in the last 3 years that has improved the quality as well as quantity of fish at C.J.
that's awesome are you ever looking for volunteers id love to help any way i can...
Yes we are always looking for people to help out,, any help that can be given is help that is given to our home lake and those that fish Mother C.J.'s waters .. Just keep an eye on this thread and as things get rolling we can get anyones info that wishes to help out
This Project is for the Fish and CJ...I'm sorry there will be no GPS locations given out and you will not be able to sit on one spot all day and "Poach" it.
Fact; Much of the original cover in CJ has decayed and is gone...we are helping to restore the lake so it can again handle the number of fish it once did.
Fact; With the Creel and Length limits on Crappie...if we provide more cover, they will have more food, hiding, and ambush areas, and get even larger.
Fact; The Bass Population has been re-established and now needs help to grow and remain strong, this involves more cover.
Fact; We can help with the cyclical predator fish kills by helping to maintain a natural baitfish population, which helps to keep a large and healthy Gator population, this involves more cover.
Fact; We can help the huge Cat population grow in average size, this involves more cover.
Fact; The more cover CJ has, the healthier the lake is, the more fish CJ has, the more fishermen have to catch....year after year!
So your statement has no factual basis at all!
If you want to help, fine...if you don't, please do not post on this thread unless you have facts to back up your statements!

May all your fish tails be longer than the ones you tell!
Sorry, do you have a problem with Christmas trees??
They provide a very basic need for fish and as they start to breakdown they provide grazing for many types of aquatic life, which leads to all of us having a better fishery.
I have found that the use of weedless lures, jigs, hooks, and just learning how to fish correctly has really increased my catch rate and I barely lose any lures now!
And yes, there will be plenty of trees going in on July 28th also!

they seem to repel crappie. was told they may be too acidic or the aroma as they decay. cj had them at the marina and you couldn't blast a crappie out of them.......
Hey can't post those pics, can't find 'em on my computer now. I downloaded all of them but now......gone (said how Kramer from Seinfeld woulda said it). I've looked and looked but it's like they wasn't saved. Gonna have to go in and probably redownload the file and try it again.

Ok to keep this professional and on a sportsman level , if anyone has facts that support a negative impact on the lake or marine life , then please feel free to post it. We will take into consideration everything factual that impacts the lake. That is how beneficial projects, types of cover, placement of cover, etc. Are determined
Is there a size limit or ideal size that we should be at or under. Also what materials. I saw some pics that showed pvc in concrete. Is that what you are looking for. When should I plan on having these done.
