Meldahl Sauger?

[The Elite]

Still looking for more reports on sauger for the BIG O!!

i would say at meldahl lock the temp needs to drop at least 6 more degrees before the sauger go in to full force they are just now starting to catch them at newburgh but in other words a week or two they will be on pretty good!!!!

Sauger are more particular about their spawning area than walleye. They need fast moving water over the shoals, that's why they are rarely caught out of lakes. In lakes the eggs get smothered by debris before they can hatch and the population eventually dies out.

They can however stand more turbid (muddy) water than walleye.

And I agree with you, don't eat fish from the Ohio, leave them for me.
