Very nice!  I've been thinking about driving down to the Port Washington harbor and trying in the warm outflow there.  I'd probably only find trout though and no trout stamp.

CTom, I didn't know that about the kidneys.  Good tip. 

Yes, the Mickey Mouse boots are heavy and don't breath, but for a few hours at a time they are the warmest thing I have found.  My father-in-law reported the same thing you mentioned.  SWEAT!  I wouldn't want to wear them all day although a lot of the construction guys I worked with did.  Either your legs would get very strong or it would wreck your knees. 

I only had the glove off for the photo.  Then right back on.  Insulated waterfowl hunting gloves have worked best for me over the years. 

Botanophhilia, They should be hitting at Port.  The problem there is that there are a lot of spawn dunkers there.  Hard to cast lures and not foul with other lines. 

Thanks,

Marc

When fishing a warm water discharge, water temp is the key.  If the discharge water is over 45 you can use anything from jigs to jerkbaits.  I've seen warm water discharges over 55, at that temp you could even throw spinnerbaits.  We fish the breaks where the warm water meets the main cold stem.

That's some solid info Sean.

I thought we've been missing something around here lately.  It's good to hear from you again.   :)
