Drop Shot for Sauger

[restornator]

Down at the falls I've only caught small sauger and mostly crappie using the drop shot. I'm a terrible sauger fisherman and usually just bust some hybrids or catfish.

When the water is really cold and sauger are slow I'll peg a big minnow to the bottom. Use a football jig because it will stand up tip with a minnow cast to a likely spot and leave set. Sauger will **** it right off the bottom. You must watch your rod tip closely. placing in a rod holder is best to keep rod still. Plus you get to keep your hands warm in your pockets.

Thanks. I've seen people catch them on a dead retrieve, go figure.
