taking a weekend trip below the dam for some wallye/sauger fishing next weekend.

this is our first trip for anything but trout here and will be fishing out of a boat.

any tips? i am not much of a walleye/sauger fisherman but am a big fan of their flavor.

also, need to know where we can pick up some minnows or shad in the area this time of year.

i understand the corps is dumping water like mad and likely will be next weekend as well. it was the same last time i was down for trout (sluice gates wide open) but we still caught plenty of fish. hoping all goes well and the fish are there.
