I wanna make a fried snake head filet sandwich.

I think MD DNR is really trying to get the word out that it is a good eating fish... Not sure I believe that something so ooooogly is tasty though ;P

So sounds like a Jan trip?

 

[JasonC]

As long as I can make it around my work schedule, I am so in.

Jan is better the colder the better too

Just had to edit my post after scrolling back. I didn't realize you were talking about a warm water outflow. Is the site near a nuclear powerplant?

Even though the water is warm, I'd recommend waders. I have seines and a few dipnets.

Can we invite the other clubs, too?

With what i know about the site, parking might be a REAL issue.
Anubias might be able to confirm that.

Ummm...Anubias, have you gone to the site lately? I just Googled "Warm water discharge Potomac Alexandria" and found that the plant that was discharging warm water into the River was closing in October>

Of course, it's been a warm winter. It's possible that the smaller sunnies up at Pennyfield Lock will still be biting.

And if not, we could probably fish for sunnies at the Power Plant discharge up at Dickerson-- although it is a haul from Silver Spring.

Diff plant, this spot is not a power plant and is spitting hot water

This is not large group friendly, parking is limited and it's a half mile hike to the spot, I would advise against inviting others. Optimal would be under 8 people
