Went fishing last Friday on the Big O below Meldahl Dam. Got there before daylight. Right at daylight, the shad started poppin and I was on them. I caught 20 sauger in ten minutes, almost every cast. My brother caught at least 10 with a few white bass mixed in. As soon as the sun came up it was over. Jigged some spoons for a while and we caught about 20 more sauger. We kept 15 sauger and 10 whitebass, no stripers. Also caught a drum around 3lbs and a gar. Caught 2 smallies, one went 16". Fish were caught on hard jerkbaits, shallow diving cb and hopkins spoons. Had a blast! No topwater bite. Water temps 70-72, water clear to 2'.
