If it is extremely cloudy you may find them shallower, but still near bottom. I never fished that area so no specifics.

When I was out there the day before Christmas, there was a guy fishing for sauger; he was slowly drifting along, and fishing the bottom, lifting his pole just a few inches, then letting it drop again. I was curious so I asked him what he was fishing for and he said sauger. He told me that last year, the day after Christmas, people were catching their limits in that lagoon.
