I decided to try em out from the bank again this evening. Started about 6:30pm until about 8:30pm. Same as Sunday they turned on right as the sun was setting. Ended up with 21 total. Crappies were still schooling and chasing minnows when I ran out of bait. Also tossed back a few undersized smallmouth. I did keep a sauger as I've heard they are good eating and have never had the privilege. Tight lines and roll tide!Attachment 275484

The sauger you caught needs to be 15 inches or over.it looks to be short. the law says 5 a day 15 inches an over.don't want to see you get a ticket for short fish
Nice catch man, looks like a good ole honey hole!
Hey I appreciate that. You must have quite the pair of calibrated eye balls lol. Sauger and some of the crappie were barely legal but I'll keep 9 inch crappie all day.Quote:

Like mentioned above, the game regs have changed and all sauger must be 15" or bigger. Hope this new reg will help to reestablish the sauger that were decimated a few years back in the TN river system. Congrats on a great trip out.
I agree! I fish this spot every fall and love it in the early morning hours. As far as the sauger go...I believe that the larger fish are females and you're in a situation where legally you keep the spawning females and release the males. That and the stripe in my opinion are what is hurting the sauger population.Quote:
