Trenton channel "Hot Water" update

[andy capp]

I talked to a guy at bowling last night, I bowl at Detroit Edison, and asked him about the "hot water" situation. There were some reports of temperature readings being consistent all across the river, meaning the hot spot wasn't there. I have conformation that rumor is true. Last Friday pump unit #9, the main water pump used for cooling, failed. They are currently in shutdown mode, and not pumping any hot water into the river. They expect to be up and running in a week.

Also many of you may have seen a freighter at the plant over the weekend. Well there conveyor that brings the coal from the train tracks is also down for belt replacement. They say there will be a boat there every other day, to keep coal supply up. They are going to be there frequently because it takes 3 ships to equal the carrying capacity of 1 train. I don't know if that is going to put any affect on the fishing over there since the ships come from the north end, but we'll see.

Thanks for the report. Any word on perch around the hole in the wall. I remember my Dad telling me he used to fish around Boblo Island in the spring for perch. We used to live in Riverview. My thought is with all the new docks being put on Boblo Isand associated with new commerical development, those docks would be a great place to try for jumbo perch. Also, can tell me were I can fish at the cross dyke without losing a prop on my 19ft I/O?

You can fish any where around the dike without a problem, just watch, to the north around all the islands. As long as your not hauling butt you should be fine. The fishing is still good around the dike. Perch fishing is hit and miss in the marina. Make sure to have your canadian liscense and to call in

Any, any reports coming out of the dyke??? I heard the run was late, and should be starting about right now...
