Heading Home for the Holidays...hows the big O?

Is worth bringing a rod to hit up the falls for sauger? Seems like its too high but my river fishing skills, well what little I had, are fading fast.

Water level is too high and they are all out on both dams. Sorry.

Bummer. Been doing a good bit of flounder fishing which reminds me of sauger fishing. Very "tactile" as I like to describe feeling for the light bite of a sauger as your jig is bouncing in the current.

Also, as much grouper, snapper and mahi as Ive been eating lately, I have been CRAVING some fresh flathead. I swear a five pound flathead is one of the best eating fish there is.

"tactile" Very good description of a sauger bite. I describe it as feeling a leaf on your hook. My trip on the first week of this month trip was exactly like that while jigging. Just felt that slight,slight leaf like weight on my line.
