Anybody fish Clinton lately? Any luck ?
gonna try saturday, got the new boat out and broke in on tuesday...water was 53 degrees at mascoutin so it should heat up quick
West side boat ramp at noon today.Attachment 154359Attachment 154360
Which ramp is that?
Thanks...I may try Dewitt bridge or 48 bridge tomorrow morning just to get outside for a while.
went out for a few hours this morn, no luck...guys were saying they were catching a bunch early in the week but it slowed down. water temp dropped a little
Thank for the report buddy!
anybody been there this week...been a little windy but didnt know if anybody made it out. planning on going saturday and possibly friday afternoon
I was there monday, water temps at dewitt bridge were 55. No report on crappie, i was catfishing.
went out yesterday....water was cold..48 at mascoutin and 52 at dewitt bridge. 1 short crappie and a 2lb bass. gettin anxious
I had a friend go out Sat water was 41 & 51 same areas. They caught 5 @ 9" or a little over. 2 were right at 9" they put them back .
Clinton has been slow. Fished the bridges the other day and only managed 4 keepers but good ones, 11-12inchers.
FYI the plant has been down for a week I would imagine temps are impacted...
Do you know when the plant is going to turn back on.
Plants back on running 25 to 50 percent this morning.Had 10 nice keepers this morning mostly on minnows 4 to 6 ft. deep
I am planning on going Sunday if it isn't too windy.:fish
I went this afternoon with no luck. I managed to find some fish relating to structure but nothing wanted to bite. Only 3 trucks parked at the bridge and 4 boats at ramp. Water temps were 47 at Mascoutin. How does everyone know when the plant is operating or not???
If you are interested, we are having a Crappie tournament there on Saturday.
NRC.org shows what percent the nuclear plants are running at that time. Heard the plant was down while they were fixing a switch.
I got my info from Joe at the bait shop.He always knows whats going on
I work at Clinton NRC website was good idea..should be at 100% by Saturday ..
Thanks for the info hopefully the fishing will turn on soon.
Anyone having any luck the past couple days?
I talk to Ole Joe today he said they were catchin crappie and walleye yesterday in the hot water area, with this mornings rain I don't know but they should still be on
Had a few nice crappie today, nothing over 12" but it was fun!
Fished back in houseboat cove
Down to Mascoutin
