Conley Bottoms or Jamestown??

Planning on fishing the big C next week, does anyone have any suggestions as which area to fish? What are the patterns right now? Does anyone know the water temp? Thanks for the help.

Wish I could help more, but I was there a week ago. Put in at Jamestown, water temps around 68 then. I had a really good blow up on topwater (smallie) and another nice one hit a spinnerbait. My partner caught a 15 in smallie and a 14 inch largemouth on the spinnerbait. I caught a 14 inch KY on a jerkbait and some smaller KY's on a shakey head. We fished a jig in deeper water on the main lake and also found some colored water back in Beaver...we had no hits there. Not sure how much the week of colder temps has helped although I'm sure it should be better. I'll post again when I go next week. Please post your results and good luck.
Good fishing,

You caught me off guard with the teaching comment. I remember taking about Cedar Creek several times. Thanks for the comments on the big C...can you explain a sweet beaver trailer? Not sure I have used this before. I talked with someone the other day and they sad what temp. was 68. I would think it has dropped some more with the colder nights we have had.

Fished shiners yesterday (Friday) in Indian, Beaver and Otter. Water temps were still 67 to 68 degrees.

The fish we caught came out of 25-30 feet. Any shallower than that, and you never got a sniff nor did we mark any fish any shallower. Stripers were schooling bait in the middle of the creeks over 100' of water but we could never get on them.

A few 12-16" fish, a couple KYs, and one sweet 20" fattie. All of them had 3 things in common: depth, shade, and proximity to a main creek channel. There seemed to be two distinct bites: 10:00 AM to noon and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Oh yeah, and a 10-lb channel cat on 6-lb. test

What you're going to be dealing with is that monster of a cold front that's coming in early next week. Could change the picture considerably. After all these days of bluebird skies, the front end of that front should be awesome.
