Darn, to bad some of you Louisville fisherman don't live nearer my area.

Been watching the weather forecast, which looks good for me and plan on launching out of Newburgh tomorrow (Thursday Nov 8) as soon as the light is safe, around 5:45 am. Forecast calls for temperatures of 35 in the am and mostly cloudy with winds from S at 6 mph. Temperature will increase to 55 by noon with partly cloudy skies and winds SSW at 16 mph.

I will have an open seat available if anyone is interested. Just send me a PM or email with your phone number by 8:00 pm this evening. Also, I may go out again on Saturday or Sunday.

I will be fishing out of a Blue/Tan Lund 1700 Explorer SS, Crappie Edition. Say hello if you see me on the river and we can swap fish tails.

Had a GREAT DAY Thursday on the river at Newburgh; my first sauger fishing trip this year. Weather was great with mostly cloudy skies until 10:00 am when it started clearing and the sun came out. Sauger bite was slow, but steady. Fished for about 4 1/2 hours using minows on a 3-way rig. Came home with my limit and hosted a fish fry that night; good-good-good. Best fish was 17", 1 1/2 lbs.
Most were in the 14 to 15 1/2 range.

I estimated there were about 15 boats on the water and most were jigging minors, with a few jigging spoons.

The Ohio takes it's share of tackel and I certainly paid my dues Thursday. Just finished rigging my rods and my brother in law and I plan on going again tomorrow morning .


PS: Still looking for Fishing Partners.

Great eating fish!!! Just got back from Newburgh dam, cleaned fish and fixed myself a shore lunch. If you are ever in the area, give me a shout, maybe we can get together. Otherwise, maybe we can try out the river below Wolf Creek Dam next year once I get relocated.
