Water Clarity: 0 Well, I guess I can say no more, I had a tough day on Coffeen. I have been there a few times and did fairly well, however this day was not like all the others. I understand that the power plant is not burning at full capacity, so I did like all of us usually do in the winter, go for the warmer water. In the discharge arm I found water in the 50's even as high as 55 in one of the arms. I was marking fish on points, however could not catch a fish. I predominantly threw a 1/2 oz. rattle trap in Red, then swithched to the 3/4 chrome. I thought that I might be able to pick a few prespawn beauties in the arm, however nothing. I also threw a rogue, tube on structure, and tx riged red shad 7" power worm, all with no luck. I finally got out the cranks, DD22 in Shad color and a smaller shallow diver. In all 7 hours and no fish except a couple of shad (the hightlight to my day). I fished the main lake points and also the secondary points off of the cemetary cove as well. I did like weed growth in the boat launch arm. I was marking fish, just did not cooperate. If anyone has had any luck please let me know. I am 0 for 2 on my last two trips to Coffeen.
Good Fishing
