Sauger???

[uaagr]

I have not tried them yet. Has anyone gone yet? Is anyone willing to report if they are running anywhere yet? Thanks in advance, I'll reply to this thread with a report when I get to go.

My father in law fished for them last week on the AR river in central Arkansas and only caught white bass and stripers. I will be giving it a shot in the next couple of weeks.

The colder the nastier the better. Years ago we caught many below the dam at murry and at Redfield below no.5. Maumele is a sleeper. Catch several on cranks every summer. Could be caught this Tim of year slow and deep.

Maumelle lake was stocked with Saugeyes ( hybrid cross Walleye/ Sauger). I have caught a few Sauger on the Arkansas River but never loaded the boat with them.

Catch them on the White around Batesville. Pretty specialized fishing---love fishing for them. Beautiful fish and great eating.

We use curly tail crappie jigs.

I use a jig and minnow mostly. Pick up some on trolled crank baits. More fishing than catching.
