I caught 9 keeper sauger and lost 2 at the boat while fishing at the dam this morning. My largest sauger weighed 2 lbs 1 oz with the rest around 1 1/2 pounds. Spotted bass are still hitting deep diving crankbaits, but all were under 2 pounds today. They must be gorging on crawfish because several spit up crawfish beside the boat. At least six boats were fishing very close to the dam and no one was told to leave by either TVA police or Corps of Engineers. Obviously boating restrictions are no longer in effect. Good Luck!
