[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3192862, member: 15054"] Yea those rule breakers are the worst. You can also try dropping a light just outside of the cable around the intake tower. It takes about an hour to get fish to gather around the light. It is not bugs that bring in the bait fish it is the light and plankton. When we fish for them we wait about an hour after the light is on, drop down a minnow about 4-5 feet and jig it slowly up and down about a foot each way. More like pull it up really slow and ease it back down and hold for a couple minutes. Then drop another 4-5 feet and do the same. Then another 4-5 feet and the same..You will find them at a certain depth. We also take one minnow and place it on the very bottom and secure that pole well. That one usually picks up the odd fish like a drum or catfish. There are huge saugeye near that tower also so if ya get one don't lip it. If ya get a small crappie you can use it for bait near the bottom also. [/QUOTE]
