Ohio River Sauger

[Bassky]

Has anyone been able to catch any sauger on the Ohio River below the dams this week? What are the water temps now? How do you catch them?

In the past I have caught them below meldahl by using white or other brightly colored jigging spoons within a few feet of the bottom. Also had some luck using a drop-shot like rig with a heavy weight (1/2 oz) and a curly tail grub and minnow up the line. Not sure if the construction on the dam will make it tougher...The bouys may be further back. not sure...

You can use 3/16 to 1/2 oz jigs with curley tailed grubs below the dams. You can jig straight down when using a boat or fishing Markland Dam from the Indiana side from the bank by casting. If casting from the bank take plenty of jigs because you will loose a lot. Take several colors of grubs as you won't know the color they will hit on.There is a section of the bank at Markland Dam on the Indiana side about 100 yards down river from the steps when the sauger move in that is a good place.
