Visited the Hot Ditch Thursday with my nephew. Wind chill REAL LOW,plus rain. Fished all day without a fish. If you are planning to fish HD, be aware of the following info: 1) The boom in the HD itself is back in place just inside the ditch. Parked right by it, never got a nibble. Marked fish,so tried cast net several times, without any success. 2) Net boat had several hundred yards of net surrounding the HD area all day. 3) The Pit was fishless,marking none at all.
Hope you have better trip, but this is the first time I could not even catch a short striper!
