Newburgh 10/21

Went out pretty early this morning targeting saug's, stripers and cats. Fished for the cats first and only one fish in 2 hours. 9# blue. Hit the hump for stripers and caught 2 good fish. Then went back in the cove on the kentucky side. Dropped vertical lines over some cover using jigs and minnows. Pulled out 8 saug's. My fish finder was just loaded up with fish. While I was waiting on the saug's I caught a couple small skips. From the way the fish finder looked and the number of people standing on the dam catching fish it looks like the skips and saug's might of actually moved up finally. First 2 gates were wide open. Rest were cracked so the current was great. I really wish I would of taken a picture of all the archs on my fish finder. It was crazy! I really wish I didn't have to work tonight. Great day to be on the water.

If you don't mind me asking, since I saw you had another post about Blue Grass FWA, can people just show up and hunt for ducks and geese at Blue Grass?

DNR doesn't mention any draws, just the self check-in station at Boonville- New Harmony and the Blue Grass pit.

My brother-in-law and I fished Blue Grass in July, when I was last down home, and I would love to check it out for Waterfowl season Halloween morning.

Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jason

Ahhh, how I miss the mighty muddy Ohio. Grew up in Newburgh myself, but now raising a family in Bloomington.

It's just a self check in. Make sure you are 150% legal you will be checked! And try the north end of bluegrass pit by the island. 150+- yrds south of the north ramp.

Cool,

Thanks for the info Justin. I'm all set on stamps, HIP, waterfowl priviledge, 3 shots, steel shot, etc...I'll be sure to check out the north side ramp area, as well.

I'm going to see if I can't convince my brother-in-law and nephew to venture out with me that morning to check out waterfowling.

Sunrise to noon should make for a nice little getaway to the great outdoors, and still leave time other family fun.

Thanks again, Jason
