I can rell you what we use to catch summer saugeye
We've pretty much switched from fishing for crappie to saugeye (walleye x sauger) this year. They're a heckuva lot more fun to catch - even the hammer handles.
Our best fish have been caught on a Culprit Lure green/chart body with an orange tassle tail tipped with a crappie minnow. I usually use a a 1/16 oz jighead in a firetiger pattern. We cast out and retrieve it a little quicker than for crappie. Here's the key - these fish are pursuit fish, so when they get close, they actually push the lure ahead of them, so you'll feel a slight slack go in your line, then they hit it and you're on.
We ahve also caught saugeye on minnows under a bobber and on deadlined nightcrawlers, but cast and retrieve with the Culprit has put the big ones on the table. We don't keep anything under 14". - Roberta
