Gsp bust
Another wasted day at GSP.
No striper action at all. I had rods out all over the boat.
One rod had small threadfin.
One rod had medium gizzard.
One rod had 12 inch skippie.
Another rod had a nightcrawler.
Another rod had two crappie magnets casting for skippies.
Another rod had an A-rig.
Another rod had a 3/4 oz jighead and white fluke.
After all was said and done, I caught 2 bluegills, one yellow bass and one 3 lb drum. All of the fishy baits were still alive and kicking when I took them off the hooks.
Main river temp was 49-50 degrees, discharge channel was 57 when I got there at 11AM and 60.5 when I left at 5:30.
River was rolling very well with lot of semi-submerged debris and heavily stained, darned near muddy.

Dang. I think this winter is a bust for the GSP. I have only been once.

Yup! ive thrown in the towel this year as well and never went this year. It would need to be bone dry and frigid cold for several weeks non-stop for that place to have a chance this year.

I went in there one afternoon last week bass fishing. I never got a bite but it didn't make much sense to me bc there was bait everywhere. Like everywhere from the point to the barrier

You sir are correct. 3-4 weeks of cold dry weather and then it would be good. I don't see it happening. What I find funny is this had been a warm rainy winter and it's still the most snow I have seen In years.

My experience with snow, in michigan at least, is when its nasty bitter cold, we never got much snow, but when it hovered from 25-30-ish, we got dumped on....almost like the super cold almost "dried" out any moisture.

I think you are right. I had friends in Minnesota and when I would visit it always seemed like the colder it was the drier the air. I wish it would get cold here so the steam plant would get good.

I saw a photo of one of the fish, it looked like the 53, because it was a lot bigger than a 36

Travis, where are you going to start your search? JPP?
What area
I would imagine the upper end is still pretty muddy.

The lower end.
They are still deep in the trees I am sure being since the water is upper 40's/low 50's. Not quite time for them to move yet.
