Spent the day on the water with a tournament sponsor and his friend. We found quality saugers in 15 to 22 feet of water. Holding Prescott Bait Company mini flukes 6″ off the bottom on a 1/4 oz jig produced all but one keeper. .3 to.5 mph drifts were key. Keep it slow and vertical and you will catch fish. Chartreuse and oystershell mini flukes worked best. Orange and purple also put fish in the boat.
We had over 3 legal limits of sauges over 15″, although not that many went homme.
