Anybody catching them sauger?

I went out today below taylorsville with not a lot of luck. Next stop is the ohio. Probably gonna try the falls. I'll be bank fishing since I don't know the river all that well. Any of you guys been catching them?

Ive been to the falls a bunch these past couple weeks and I havent had any luck. Ive been using 3/8 oz jig heads with chartreuse wavy tail grubs. Im limited to bank fishing so that may be why, but Ive tried fishing at all different water levels this month and December and have had no luck. Ive tried close to the dam and down by the observatory center.

Im gonna keep trying for a few more weeks but Ill keep ya updated if my luck changes.

Just left the falls. Couldn't really fish due to ice forming on my line. River is up and on the rise. Just gotta wait for the temperature to cooperate

I'm afraid what is on one day is off the next when it comes to the river. Water levels have changed dramatically since Jay's post and the waters still rising. Your best bet now would be to find a creek that runs into the river and get as close to the mouth as I could. Try tipped jigs or if if the drift wood is to bad slip bobbers with minnows in-between log drifts has worked well for me. You can also make your own hole by taking an old treble hook and some old heavy line throw it out move the drift over and tie it off to a root or tree. It will work for a while then just repeat. Hope this helps. Good luck Chuck

Nice tips man! I'm probably going to hold off going up there again since the river is all out of whack. Might try it when water levels fluctuate somewhat. That may be wishful thinking though. Another downer for me is the air temps. I don't do so well when it's below 40 outside. If it's windy it's almost unbearable. But I don't see to many manageable days ahead. So it might take an in-law visit to push me out the door lol.
