Hello. I am not a walleye/sauger fisherman and need help. I am planning on fishing the Illinois River near Peru soon. I have always heard that the walleye/sauger bite can be good. I have been told that late March is the time and verticle jigging is the key. I am asking for help with what baits, techniques, and time of year are best. Any help would be appreciated. [email protected] Thanks– Rob
i was born and raised in mendota illinois which is 10 minutes from peru and still have all my friends and family down there most of them fish the spring valley, peru, utica area three waying and vertical is by far the best ways to fish that river key in on tied up barges as alot of the fish we caught in the 18 yrs i fished that river were off of the barges tied up on shore!! if u want any info pm me and we can set up a phone convo or just pm each other on the subject i could also make sum phone calls and get the latest for you as well. let me know and good luck!
