Has anyone fished for Sauger on the Arkansas River? I ran across this article and thought it might be fun to try on a winter's day. Obviously, it won't be for several weeks due to the flooding, but might be fun to try.

I never caught any numbers but know there are a few out there . Most people catch them on accident fishing for Crappie or Bass .
Good eating if you can figure them out. They used to catch boat loads of them at Pickwick below the dam. Should be similar in AR. Didn't have the flying carp then tho.
Yep I have fished below the dams in Alabama and they do have more Sauger than Arkansas .Quote:
