Below The Dam Sat. Afternoon And Sunday

[Wahoo61]

Got down the the dam about 4:30 Saturday. Had live shad. East Side (Gate Side) was packed, so I went to West Side (Turbine SIde) and tried the point. Nothing, looked like they were running two units, went down to the road bed, (below the spillway and between there and the rail walkway, nothing). Did not fish long. Went to the Gate side, alot of people, found a spot about 40 yards from the fence. Alot guys throwing hog sticks (by the way, it went from overcast and rainy to sun comming out when I got there). First cast, caught a small hybrid, and I thought, hey , this will be good. THen it shut off for about an hour. Nobody catching anything. All the guys there said there were wearing the hybrids and whites out on top while it was raining and overcast, until just before I got there (always the case). Then about 5:30, caught about an 8 lb hybrid, then about four more, not as big, and some whites. Guys with me caught maybe another 10. We were doing better on the live shad.

Went down at 5:30 this morning, really slow,by two caught about 15 decent whites and probably 15 Bass. All on live shad. No hybrids caught that I saw, nothing on top.

They are catching limits of crappie around the point (Gate or east side), every time I go down there.

I went down last night and even though I didn't catch a thing, my in- laws caught a few whites and crappie on chartreuse swimming minnows drifted about 4 feet under a float along the edges of the bank. The group just down from us were catching quite a few nice size walleye using the same technique we were.
