Brookville?

[bill28wagner]

Has anyone been on Brookville lately? Has anyone tried fishing Brookville this late in the year in the past?

Thanks
Bill

Fished Brookville on Sunday, 12/11. Got one largemouth, 16". Lake was clear south of the Fairfield Causeway but north of that bridge the visibility was about one foot. Water temps were in the 47 degree range for the most part, 45ish in the back of creeks. Crankbait on a deadfall.

I've tried to post pics before also, and had no luck. I'm thinking about going to Brookville on Saturday can you give me a report from your recent experience?

I spoke with a couple of other boats and they were all fishing about 30' deep. I caught a few nice smallies in about 8' of water running a crankbait bouncing it off the bottom. Caught one nice smallie. my measuring stick on the boat is 18" and it hung over by about an 1 1/2". "still trying to post pic". The water color on the south end of the lake is GREAT. temp was 47-48 deg.

Caught fish on crankbait, 1 on silver buddy, one on suspending jerkbait . all fish came on the west side of lake next to the dam. I think it will be sunny saturday. if you are bass fishing those fish will be there. also if its sunny dont be afraid to throw a crankbait parallel with the dam digging up the bottom . I did mark a lot of fish on channel breaks in about 25-30 of water. I threw everything at them (jigs, spoons, dropshot, shaky head) and couldnt get bit. did catch one catfish doing that tough.

Good luck
Bill

Thanks for the tips. I bought a couple Alabama rigs and am too anxious to wait until Spring to use them, so I'm bringing the boat out of hibernation.
I will give you a full report.

[Lunker1]

Well, not much of a report to give. I only caught one fish - 14" gizzard shad.
