Been out 3 times in the last couple of weeks crappie fishing & had one good trip. Big black crappie were close to the river. Typical Fall pattern it seems.
Also sauger fished from the beach below Meldahl dam last week along with 8 or 9 other people. I was the only one who caught a fish that evening and it was just a big drum. This cold weather should have them on the move soon enough though.
