Crappie or Sauger this weekend?

[BurleyDog]

What would you guys recommend - crappie on a local lake or sauger in the Ky river this weekend?

I don't know what to chase

Thanks

Brought home limits of sauger the last two nights from Greenup Dam tailwaters so they should be hitting in the Kentucky also.

i've fished the Ky river 3 times in the last week and a 1/2 and havent caught the first sauger, and thats mostly what i've been fishing for. ive fished below lock 4 and 5 and several places in between. hope you have better luck.

I've only managed to pick up 2 2 pounders in the past 2 trips for sauger on the river. Crappy are still deep too. We tried out some brush piles on the river with no luck. It'd be a toss up but we're gonna try the sauger one more time tomorrow at lock 7.

Hope you went sauger fishing, the crappie bite completely shut down this weekend.

I live in Frankfort, what technique do you use for sauger?

Sauger were on better yesterday than today. A buddy caught his limit all 15-22 inches. We went today and managed one sauger and one red horse. We throw jigs and curly tails with either a minnow or night crawler on the hook.

Well I fished for sauger on Sunday. I got wetter than a fish sitting out in the cold rain.

Got no bites and caught no fish. This is my fifth time fishing for sauger this spring and still haven't caught a fish.

I tried the crappie for an hour or so but couldn't buy a bite.
