Eric, My brother and I fish both sides near the dam. If generation is heavy, we fish the Dupont side. The trick is to down size jigs. I use a 1/8 th oz chrome normally with a minnow. You will find the saugers love this bounced on the bottom close to shore. After sunset seems to be the better time for crappie and sauger. I also use slip floats with bare hook. I have done well on saugers this way. We fish from start of lock, to the boat ramp. Half way between the two, you will notice different rock. This is a good place because of the current change. I found the walleye like that spot. As far as white bass, I have caught them on the Dupont side, but found the Hendersonville side better.
Good Luck,
Eric
