My son (14) and I went to the Triple J for a full day today.  Arrived by 7am.  I observed the weed situation referenced below, and walked the entire perimeter of the 10 acre lake, and found 3 or 4 small gaps where I was able to launch a spinner into the clear.  Without a boat, fishermen at the Triple J would be S.O.L. 

But this is PWF!  And we members have access to a boat, so after we got away from the edges, we were FOL (fish-on-line).  We caught 27 total, with only a handful of ‘wigglers’.  No Crappie, although I swear we caught a bass/crappie hybrid (got a photo).

The bass we caught were very healthy, and averaged 3 lbs, with the biggest 4.25#.  We caught them primarily on chartreuse spinner baits.  We did catch some with Rappalla floating minnow divers, and a few on texas-rigged plastics.  Great day, once we got into the middle. 

If you go to the Triple J, bring a rope/anchor, so that you can start upwind and work your way down the middle fishing either side.  We used my tow rope and cinder block we found - worked great. 

Super way to end my 14 year old’s summer of adventure before starting school tomorrow.  Thanks PWF!  - Michael
