[Long Island Guy]

I'm a bit of a newbie and fish in a rather unique location (or so I think). I am located real close to a large hydro-electric power plant which I have heard people fish all year round. I fish the warm water outflow of the plant, which has a rather strong current, (when using bunker chunks or bluefish pieces, I use a 4 oz. weight or so to get the bait down to the bottom and let it drift) I just started fishing at this spot and have been successful in April with sandworms picking up schoolies, and from July to August I do well with plastic bombers, storm plastic shad, and of course drifting chunks, which I usually do because of all of the bluefish. I would normally go down to this spot and ask one of the friendly guys down there for some tips, or my local tackle shop, but unfortunately I haven't been fishing since August because I've been studying in Cairo Egypt. My family is looking to get some gifts for me when I return for xmas on the 23rd of December. Any recommendations for this type of fishing will be appreciated for both bait and lures/jigs. Thanks in advance. --Tim
