Same. (And I decided that before reading the other answers.)

A brick displaces its equivalent weight of water when in the boat. A brick displaces the equivalent volume of water when thrown overboard (assumption is the brick does not float).

 

Because a brick will sink, i.e. it is "heavier" than water, it displaces more water in the boat than in the lake so yes, the water level will go down - lower.

 

Thanks to all who participated!

Reminds me of the following . . .

 

Two country boys are driving along an old dirt road after a day of fishing and drinking. Each has an open beer bottle with several empties thrown in the bed of their pickup. Suddenly the driver sees a police car in his rearview mirror. Hey Earl, he tells his passenger, quickly finish your beer and peel the label off the bottle and stick it to your forehead! Earl gives him a quizzical look but finally complies.

 

The policeman notices the truck weave erratically and turns on his siren. The good ole boys pull over and the policeman approaches the car. He notices the dozen or so empty bottles, reeking of stale beer, in the bed of the truck. He cautiously approaches the cab and shines his flashlight on the two occupants. Both smell of alcohol and have a half glazed look in their eye and smiles on their faces. He also notices that both have beer bottle labels stuck to their foreheads. Gentleman, the officer inquires, have you been drinking. No sir!, the driver replies. We're on the patch!
