Get Down River

Wished the Ohio was not so high . I wanna go sauger fishing

I'm with you on that. This year was tricky on the Ohio. I'm waiting to get after those sauger. I wonder if the Kentucky river offer any good sauger fishing?

Had three good trips with limits the last couple weeks,one with two walleye
in the bunch.Tried the river with the water high Thursday,got nothing.River is dropping enough for a trip tomorrow night,going to give it a try.I fish the Greenup tailwaters.

Thanks for the reply, were you using minnows on your jigs?

There is an Ohio river fishing forum that gives updates on river fishing on a pretty regular basis. The sauger have moved in and are being caught. The water is cool enough, its just a matter of when it will get down low enough. Google Ohio river fishing forum.

With all this new rain it's lookin ugly boy's...Time to hit the flooded creeks..

99% of the time I am using jigs in some way,almost never use minnows but they may be the best sauger and walleye bait.Most of the time there will be either a white or chartreuse curly tail on it.Pink or orange work good at times.
I also use bucktails that I tie myself.A strip of sauger belly which is easily cut
when filleting them works good also.Going to try the dam tonight unless the weather takes a bad turn.
