Default I fished today at the steam plant - 20 degrees

I was at the steam plant this afternoon and the water temp was just over 60 degrees in the area where the water is discharged. I free lined a couple skippys and first had a good hit on a 12" skippy then hooked a very good fish on a 11" skippy. Main line is 50 lbs. But I had a 20 lb. flourocarbon leader that broke off. The downscan showed baitfish packed in the channel just below the discharge.

Even though it was cold and windy today, fishing was not that uncomfortable. Biggest problem was reels kept freezing in the cold air and the ride back to the boat ramp right before dark was chilly.

braved the cold yesterday and hit the GSP. Water temp was just under 60 degrees. Went looking for crappie and that was a bust but did manage about a 15lb rock fish and missed a second one. they were hitting skippies drifting.
