Hey Doug it's Jay I was on the island on 8/31/06 when we were tearing up the Hybrids that day ,I was the guy who kept asking to pull up your anchor so I could land that Striper LOL
That was the last day if you recall , the river was clear its been muddy ever since .It will try to clear up and then we get a bubble from Up North .
I have been fishing alot moslty in the Duck Pond due to high levels ;but I haven't caught my first sauger yet ????
Even using minnows ,Charlie caught a few in Oct in the ditch by the upper spillway .This cold snap may turn the sauger on .The lower is 21ft and falling here is a link to the McAlpine lower http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrog...ew=1,1,1,1,1,1
