I'm wanting some advice on power plant lakes how to patern fish in water that never gets colder than 70 degrees in the discharge arm. It seems to be an all out feed bag and its all about the bait fish (gizzard shad) more than any thing else any advice or coments would be appreicated. thanks, Drew

My lake fishes exactly like Jared discribed. There is the hot hole where the fish are stacked they get the crap knocked out of them but they seem to replenish almost hourly. I am interested in finding other paterns on the lake but have not had much success and its hard to stick with because of the knowledge that they can be caught in the hot hole. The last time I threw a rattle trap I hooked a giagantic striper thast shelled out my reel and broke me off.

Tom, How was your trip I have been waiting patiently for your return to reply to this question. I have a tournament in two weeks on a power plant lake. We are in the third week of a deep freeze and looks like we are going to have at least one more.

Jim, this is exactly what I have experienced. I tried to power fish them last year but accidentally found them on a finesse rig. (amateur partners what do they know?) I find it relay intriguing that they can't be found on other parts of the lake when its cold. Why would they bother everything they need is in the warm water arm? Thanks for the education. I would still like to hear Toms assessment. Later. Drew
