About a week ago I put in at Boonesborough State Park. The white bass were chasing shad near the spillway and I was with my son so we fished it most of the day. Was catching a fish on almost every cast, mostly on small spinner baits. I decided to try deeper and switch to a deep diving crankbait fishing in about 12-15' of water. I caught about a dozen sauger 6"-8". There was a previous post with a link saying that they stocked Sauger up river in the spring. I believe this was what I was catching. Not sure if this helps, but they are there, just not sure on the size.
On another note. I have been fishing the mouth of the KY the last few weeks and have done really well Sauger fishing. They were hitting on jigs tipped with minnows in 15'-30' of water.
