Those eat real well! I catch a few saugeye pulling cranks on Maumele.

Great Job Ben...Hard to catch great eating fish you must put your work in for just a few of them. WTG!!! Man

[Slabyanker]

Nice fish! You got me beat. I've only caught 2 in my life. Both out of spring river. One a couple months ago and the other around 15-20 years ago. Fine eating fish.

Nice!

I'm always happy to catch a saugeye but they don't come often enough. The ones I've caught at Maumelle have always been decent size and always in a bay with a crankbait. I've enjoyed catching 10-15 pound drum there too.

Matthew, this was the warm up trip last Friday. The real trip is this Thursday. I really learned from him, and enjoyed it, and would like to try crawler rigs for saugeye on Maumelle. I'll let you know if I can figure them out.

[Possum]

OK, what is a crawler rig and is there a web-site I can look at one?

[Rookie40]

Lindys makes one try their Web site. It's basically two hooks in line with a spiner in front and you bounce it along the bottom. I like a Berkley swim bait with a bullet jig head slow rolled and bounced off the bottom and never rule out a rapala count down. I have caught several walleye in the saline and ouachita Rivers on those two baits.
