One of my fun moments, so I had posted some pictures of me at this power plant cooling lake last weekend.  This lake has this one specific area which feeds the main cooling area.  I would describe it as a spillway of sorts.  One of the main species of fish in this lake are catfish. 3 years ago when I first put my kayak in it and fished it for the first time, I made my way to this spillway, not thinking much of it I threw my crank bait into the flowing water, which buy the way, this lake fills from the water from a off limits fish resivor area.... and I think my bait gets snagged.  I thought it got snagged on a piece of rebar that may have stuck out from this concrete spillway or some junk that ended up there some how.  Well after about 2 min of screwing around trying to get my bait back.  It started moving!  Long story sort...  I make it a thing to go back to this place once a year now and spend 20+ min. fighting some giant catfish that just sit there with their mouth open all year long.  It's a freaking blast!! LOL...  The pictures are back to back years.  I did hook into one last weekend, stupid me hooked into one with Blat's sick stick spinning rod.  WRONG ROD TO USE... Note to self!  I couldn't move the cat I hooked into!! I tried fishing more of the outside diameter of this small area because the graph was showing bait balls all over thinking a bass would be there...Nope, big cats everywhere!!  Spent 15 min on that one and it spit my bait.  It was fun though.  Next time bigger rod and 65lb. braid will be used!

Fished a cooling pond this weekend at our local power plant, had a mixed bag of bass, did catch one decent smallie, one catfish, and 4 or 5 of these drum. Kind of a fun bite!
