Belleville Sauger & Walleye

Went three days straight fishing the evenings a couple of weekends ago during the last warm up. We managed about 25-35 saugers a night fishing from 5-9pm. Have gone a few times since the cool down and nothing. The technique was pearl or milk salt/pepper colored 3" twister tails on 1/16 and 1/8 oz jigs any color. Tipped the jig/twister combo with a minnow riding piggyback. The retrieve was painstakingly slow almost not moving. Don't even use your reel handle for this one. Just a super slow lift and stop has been the ticket. No action on other bright colors yet. Fish have all been stuffed full of 3" shad but no luck on larger baits though. Heading down tonight possibly. No one has been there in any of our trips we've had it all to ourselves! Plenty of room for competition though!

30 SAUGERS!!!!
WOW

I think you may have some competition coming from saugeye1!!! Thats in his backyard I think

Congrats!

30 wow exactly, may have to head that way soon.

Fishing has been not so hot the past two trips. The night I posted was a total strikeout! We went down tonight and managed 1 nice perch and lost two nice eyes at the bank. We had sized down our baits and I think the small jig hook was a big factor in the losses. I keep ya'll posted!
