Well decided to go below the dam yesterday.I had a slow start but finally found a pattern that worked.They all if the turbines running but no trash gates open.I fished till dark catching 27 spots and 11 smallmouths.All fish were caught oon hte bottom with a 1/4 ounce jig in crawfish color.My biggest smallmouth of the day was a 5 1 that I should have gotten JDK to take a picture of.Biggest largemouth was 3.5 on my scales.As for the spots they were on there normal strucure(vertical) and the smallies in the slack eddies up around the dam.Had a great day fixing to load up and go again.The key for the smallies was letting the current carry my jig right into their mouth.Hence the 1/4 once jig>
