Buds and I went to meldah dam fishing Monday 12-4 17. Water was good and we caught 17 keeper sauger , ranging from 10 inches to 17 inches. Caught them all on minnows. Fishermen using jigs caught some but minnows clearly
out-caught jigs. They are in there but it will only get better. Fished right below the pier. Will be going back soon. 3 plus inch minnows worked best.
