Sauger Fishing on the Ohio River

Will it finely happen I got to go fishin with the great riverat. Let me tell you guys something if you have a need to know the riverat is the bomb. He showed me how with out a gps or sonar he could singlely locat almost ever rock down there. And as a good student I think that I pick up on his teaching rather well. Now For some of you guys that have the honor of fish with the rat. What is up with the dr. pepper and the lime?

All the BS a side the rat is the man and we caught a few sauger. Had a hard time finding live bait. And I made a new friend and hopfully a fish partner. Anytime rat you are welcomed in my boat.

well i ened up knocking out my honey-do list. cut doen a tree in the front yard and trimmed two others,re- caulked some windows, furnace maintenace and hung the christmas lights. ill be down tomorrow and hopefully it will be a little better.

i have always heard that Chuck was the man when it comes to the river.

Thanks guy's, Mike I had a great time it was a pleasure to meet you. And we will definitely do it again and I'll be going back to my water bottle when it gets a little colder lol..I will personally introduce you to the rocks we didn't get to meet the last time...got to love gold hooks...lol Chuck

I fished below Meldahl Sat am. Caught 10 white bass and 2 sauger.
All on silver buddies and castmaster gold spoons. Fished until 2 pm. Left the dam and put in at Bracken Creek ramp in Augusta. Drove up river to the mouth of a creek. Water temps 46-48. Found shad everywhere at the mouth. My mouth started watering. Immediately caught a 16" spot, a good 2-2.5lbs on a silver buddy. Went on to catch, 7 lm bass, all on silver buddy. Switched to the Am Shad jerkbait and WAM! Caught a 21" largemouth, guestimate over 5lbs maybe 6lbs. Fat as a spring bass. Couldn't believe it. My biggest ever for the Ohio River. My best 5 around 11lbs. Wish I was fishing a tx!! Caught 2 sauger, 14-15" and around 15 whitebass. Everyone of the white bass were between 1.5lbs and 2.5lbs. Had a blast! I caught the white bass on the jerk bait and silver buddies casting to the popping shad. My best day ever on the river. We fished from 3- 5pm.
My brother and a friend fished with us below the dam early sat and they caught 2 sauger. Biggest went around 4lbs. 19". Tried to get them to come with us but declined. Oh well. Haven't put up my boat yet. Still wanting to get out again a couple of times this winter.
Bassky

Fridays are bad for me tues - thurs are good but this week I working at basspro.

Me and My cousin went to the McAlpine Dam on Sunday, and didn't catch anything.
All we got was a few small nibbles and i got one huge bite on my catfish rod.
Ain't much happening down there at the moment
