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.
What is the source of this? Is there a time frame for coming back online?Quote:

Where do you guys find this info? i.e. shut down, running %. Would be nice to be able to find this. Do you work there? Just curious.Quote:

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
