Today taught me why they call it Fishing and not Catching. Made my annual trip to the Monroe Hot Ponds. It is the warm water discharge for the coal burning power plant into Lake Erie. It is always a fun time to go. For some reason the fish didn't want to bite today. I only caught a few none photo worthy. The area is also a wintering area for Bald Eagles. Good new is there were many more this year than I have ever seen. Quite a few young adults. Got to watch them play all morning. My boat is now tucked away for the winter. Think Spring.
Talked to some guys at the ramp that had driven up from Columbus for the day. They did about the same as I did. Water was 57 at the entrance and 62-63 up at the discharge.
Hope it improves for all you guys that fish all winter in there.
Time for Golf Cart fishing in Florida till spring.
