Coffeen Lake
Anybody fishing this lake?
Someone was telling me that it fishes pretty good for bass.
Any input?
Thanks

My son and I used to fish it a lot. They closed the plant about a year ago and the fish all but disappeared, plus a major shad kill over the winter. Covid (and our wonderful governor) kept the lake closed until late May this year. I heard the fishing was awesome for a while after it re-opened, but we didn't get over there 'til the fireworks were over. lol The fishing is not nearly what it was years ago. Recently, 12-14 pounds wins most tournaments. I was there a few weeks ago and had 10-12 blowups on a buzzbait around the coontail, but not much size. Water was very clear.. at least 6 feet of visibility (I hate that). When the plant was still running, it took 'til December for the better fish to start showing up. With no plant running, temps should speed up that process, but it's hard to say.
