We tied up to the metal stuff and fished the inside of the steel wall for a few hours today targeting cats. There seemed to be everything but cats there. The water was so thick with giant carp you couldn't see the bottom. I caught some panfish for bait on a snap bean and watched a half a dozen crappie bite it and shake the hook. At one point i saw what appeared to be a giant carp following the lure  as it got near the boat i realized it was one of the largest pike i have ever seen  we saw some guys around us pull in schoolies and smallmouth. no cats, but plenty of sunshine.

That's great news!  Two weeks ago, there weren't any fish in the area. I can't wait to go check it out, again.

The boat launch ramp at Charter Oak Landing is immediately upriver from the power plant. I spoke with someone from Riverfront Recapture, which manages it, and he told me that the park rangers won't start checking for boat launch permits until Memorial Day.
