My Bud and I were on the river early and fished for sauger from ~6:30 -11:30. Bite was very slow, s-l-o-w, s--l--o--w. We left with 3 keepers each, ranging in size from 14-16 inches. Others I spoke with on the river reported the same experience. All of us were catching those little cigar fish. I believer we would have had a box full. Didn"t seem to mater if you were fishing jigs, minows or spoon. Same results.

I don't understand. Weather was everthing I would have ordred; cloudy skies, very little wind and good current in the river???

Any thoughts, or does this come down to fishing-not catching?

Better luck to all.
