[QUOTE="justin_h635, post: 2718647, member: 24704"] The muddy mile seems like an eternity and even worse if you strike out on a bite. It's been decades since I have been there but I believe it to be the same, as Hoddy said, the best fishing is when it is the worst. You want ice on your rod tips, wind out of the N burning your hands kind of nasty. It seems I remember guys huddled around burn barrels like a bunch of downtown bums (is this even legal Dennis?). Also, one thing to remember is have no expectations, the discharge is just one of those places where you might be catching hybrids one minute, crappie the next and then all of a sudden your plastic shad bait or spoon entices a 20# flathead. I don't know why but just that area must hold all types of fish and they all just eat. Your chances of catching non-sport fish on lures just seems to be elevated at the discharge. I have heard of rooster-tails (inline spinners) , the big ones, working good there. Also, shad imitations such as the storm wildeye do good. Long casts are your friend. [/QUOTE]
