    Going to SWEPCO lake this week

    I went last week one day and fished for a few hours in the warm water discharge area with no luck. What are some presentations that I should try, or some suggestions for what I should be looking for to locate the fish?

    Thanks.

    If you can stand the cold, go at night.

    I went one night last week and stroked them.

    Got on the water about 11:30pm (air temp was a balmy 14 degrees) and fished until 4:00am.

    Probably caught 30-40 fish throwing a carolina rigged 8" lizard and a texas rigged 14" worm. Probably caught another 6 or 7 on a black spinnerbait in the pocket by the ramp right before I loaded up.

    Biggest fish was probably around 5.5-6lbs, but almost all of them were in the 2-4lb range.

    Be aware that the fog sets in really thick at night, so you have to be very familiar with the lake....
