Anyone been to the OH dam?

I may be wrong but I thought I saw it on the news back when it was so hot in the summer.I think it said that the water was getting to hot down river.I just figured most stripers were still up river.Ihave heard of really good catfishing summer and fall at the GSP.To many people fish there now anyway.Most boats just drive around.Even on weekdays it getting to bad.They will probably close it down in the next 10 yrs.TVA is suppose to take most coal fired plants off line.Maybe we get a Atomic plant in gallitin.

I've never really fished for walleye and sauger before. What do you guys recommend using for those suckers?

I have never fished for them either....don't know how. But this Spring look at what me and my son caught Trout fishing below Normandy Dam. We had a limit each and the keepers were all 20 inches or a little better. That is the only time I have ever caught any...and it was an accident...LOL.

I don't actively target Sauger. But at my Crappie hole they will usually move into the entrance to it around January or February, and for those that fish for them I have seen them sometimes limit out in about 30 cast. It is very simple for those that I fish around. They just bump a jig along the bottom....but Sauger are quick. Meaning you have to set the hook quickly or they are gone when they feel you. The waters below Pickwick Dam are a great fisheries. It is just a great place to fish from the bank. A long drive though. But people who live in other states will try to plan a week during the Sauger run just to come down there to fish for them.
