Thread: summertime sauger?

Moose they are like walleye. but here they don't act like the walleye.
I have talked with lots of people that walleye fish. And they catch a lot of sauger also.
SO I asked and listened to what they had to say.
Sure wish I could work this out also.
I do think they move back down river and stay in the deeper water. But like other fish they have to eat.

Boy, the "fishing" on this thread has been slow - I almost forgot to look
back at it! But thanks for the replies. Since I first posted that, I have
been doing a little reading, don't think I've learned a WHOLE lot, but did
find it interesting, seems Sauger have even more sensitivity to light than
Walleye. So far in my limited trials, I have scored maybe a half-dozen on
maybe 10 different trips, trolling Bandits on the river channel edges, but
caught more smallmouths and blue cats than Sauger. Not a terrible problem,
at least not the smallies, but not what I was after! Tried a little northern
style dragging of a nightcrawler off in the deep water of the river one time,
it was hilarious - caught all sorts of fish, some of them sauger - only thing,
all of them were about 4" long! If I had been wanting to stock an aquarium,
I would have been in business. I always see fish on the sonar Deeep in
the channel, I'm talkin 40, even 50 feet deep, and can't get them to bite -
may have to get one of those cameras to spy and see what they are.
Place in Sheffield where I bought my motor, said they caught lots of big
"Jacks" off humps up around Bear Creek - maybe there is hope yet.
