now that we have had some cold weather and the river is as murky as it is the cold good the river rising and murky not good. which is really puttuing a damper on the sauger what i noticed going as much as i was going is that the bait was so heavy this year that kinda slowed down alot of the fish that people go for far as stripers, whites, hybrids, and sauger. Crappie were hot for a min. I say this as soon as this river levels out at a steady fall slow but surely and a little more clarity that the sauger will turn on and we will all be happy cause r bellys will be full with some good fish. Sooner will come before later. give me your guys insight.
