We usually just fish for bass and crappie but have caught numerous walleye fishing the dike at night with crank baits. There couldnt be a better topwater bite along the dam in the evenning though. Caught 6 pound smallies and largies on topwater. I love Mardon its one of the best fisheries around by far!
