Fishing with Cameron Mcdonald.  Started the morning drifting for sauger by bouncing bottom with jigs tipped with minnows.  We were fishing in 20'-35' of water.  The bottom was hard rock and we were below high cliffs.  After a few drift passes, we couldn't find any sauger, so we went to creek mouths and fished for crappie.  

Got on crappie in 12' to 20' of water.  Caught several small crappie and several large brim.  Moved to Beech Creek.  There we floated minnows in 9'-15' of water under a bobber.  Caught several more crappie, most small.

Ended up keeping 4 crappie and 8 bluegill.  Probably caught 12-15 crappie total and 20-25 bluegill.  Good day.
