Hey, guys. First, I am brand new to the site (been reading the posts for quite sometime, but just registered as a member). I am a West TN native, a life-long fisherman (TN River, KY Lake, Reelfoot, Beech River Watersheds, Lake Graham, and about every small lake, pond and slough in West TN). I am an avid (I didn't say good - smile) crappie and bream fisherman, but I have fished for and caught almost every species of fish in the local waters... all that is, except for sauger.

As long as I have fished here, I have never caught one... not even by accident. With the weather finally turning colder, I thought I might give it a try this year, and was hoping for some insight... where, when, with what (tackle / bait wise), whatever you can tell me.

Don't worry, I PROMISE not to clutter up the TN Crappie Forum with a bunch of non-crappie questions... I will have PLENTY of crappie questions, too!!!:D
