Alpha, were you fishing below the dam or in the lake?
I was fishing below the dam. I had been telling Mike how the area we were fishing held Sauger. I was getting some bites that I thought felt like Sauger. Then I caught a few. We did not fish that spot long. Looking back on it I should have just stayed at one of my spots down there and worked it over hard. We caught fish on each spot we went to except in the tail race.....caught nothing at all there. I certainly don't recommend anyone drive that far to fish. On many days there are tons of fish readily biting....then there are days it is void of any bites. It was funny.....yesterday I passed 3 gentleman sitting on a bench talking about how there are no more Sauger at Pickwick...,....yet the years I have been fishing for Crappie down there I see guys hauling out limits all the time.
