Was tough for us today. Only managed 4 fish on 7 bites... first time there in over a year for me. Saw boats running around like crazy!! Talked to a couple guys in a tournament but didn’t get to see the weigh in

Was the stack smoking?

No and water was pretty cold. Warmest found in front of discharge was 59. All 3 were running at Martin Creek though

I rarely have a good day when the stack is off at pirkey usually I’ll just turn around and go somewhere else lol.

Between the EPA and plant issues. It’s not been running much this winter/summer

Me and friend fished there yesterday, caught around 50 between the two of us, maybe more. Everything was small though with a few 1 to 1.5 mixed in. Did hook something very big but broke me off. Not sure it was a bass or not but it bent my rod over the side of the boat. We got into a school of 12 ouncers that bit like crazy.

I’m assuming there is no pre-released schedule for future plant activity? Club tourney in a few weeks with Welsh being a backup if the stacks at BB aren’t running.

Wow! Nice day!

I have one on the 18th. Hopefully back up and running but either way we’ll be there

We have one there on the 18th also. I am going to start prefishing it hard on Tuesday. With it being up and down for the past few months it has them really messed up. The best I have ever done in a tournament there was with the plant down, we were an ounce shy of 25#. That said, that day was the exception to the Pirkey Rule.

Yesterday started out cold and the fishing was colder. I had zero bites, my partner had two nice blow ups and one break off when we were using swimbaits shallow grass. We fished shallow grass and deep grass lines.

Water temps were 55 on the discharge side and 56 at the intake just before we left at 1pm.

Last Saturday was a different story, cloudy and light rain with about 6 boats on the lake. water temps in the low 60’s, caught fish steadily from 7:30 to 1 pm, best five approached 27 pounds on a paper scale conversion chart.

MBC on 1/26!

How many boats do y’all tournaments run. Forney will be there in the 18th as well. Trying to get an idea on finish times so the ramp isn’t packed at weigh in..

Time for PP lakes to get absolutely hammered

BB ramp is gonna be packed, you can only launch one boat at a time, it's been fixed but still not a great ramp.
