It's a lot slower than last year. You hit the nail on the head - it's just been too warm for it to really be great.

Right now the main lake temps away from the plant haven't been cold enough to really crowd the threadfin into the plant. I have a theory that the heavy current disburses the plume of water somewhat and makes it a little less effective at drawing in the bait too.

There have been some schoolie stripers moving in and out of the plant area sporadically. You'll see them busting the surface after dark. One day they'll be thick and the next there won't be any sign of them.

For the folks who fly fish, the skipjack have been a little slow, but the ones that are there have been running pretty large - lots of 2 and 3 pounders in the mix.

There do seem to be a lot of largemouth stacked up around the canal. I don't bass fish much, but I've "accidentally" caught a 7 pounder on a redfin and a 5.5 pounder on a flyrod, plus some smaller ones, since the beginning of the year. I assume if someone was actually targeting bass they could clean up pretty good.

My boat is out of commission at the moment, so it'll probably be a couple weeks before I'm back there on it again, but that's the best information I can give you.
