John;; sauger love currents !!  best places to fish for them is below dams at the boils;; if you can   stand it!!  right here at the steam plant;;  to give you a idea of the current there;; I have a 45 pound trolling motor;; run up into the cove a bit; drop the trolling motor; put it on high speed;; and I just sit still !!!! dropping a anchor;; wont help !! usually anchors no where heavy enough !    in winter time;; the - outlets-- have warmer water than surrounding water;; great place to catch all kinds of fish  when they turn the pumps on high;; drawing water in;;  water boils big time !!
