Those of you who fish Coffeen regularly already know that the fishing has gone totally to hell. Tournament results, and therefore attendance, has been unbelievably bad. It's been about six weeks since the plant was shut down, and for a couple weeks after, the fishing remained pretty normal. Since then, it's like somebody stole all the fish. I'm not aware of any credible stories about seeing a fish kill or anything like that. I can only guess that the consistent lack of current and the early cold temperatures (small ponds had a skim of ice in mid November) have the bass and the bait totally confused.
I'm wondering if anyone has any other knowledge or thoughts on the situation.
