we’ll be out tommorow to jeff. probably see ya out there. hit newville and got a legal and a short. pretty slow but a nice day to be out.

well we spent most of the day out there yesterday. it started out not so good with that wind howling straight up the river. so we made a little move to get out of the wind and it was game on for the rest of the day. i poped a 17 incher on the first drift. next drift i got a short sauger and another 16 inch sauger. next drift i poped a 18 inch eye then a 19 inch eye which we through back. next drift my buddy got a 16 inch sauger then i got another 17 inch eye. next drift i got a 18 inch plump sauger that was also released and another 18 inch eye. we ended with a couple more walleyes but through em back. then we went up river and found some crappies and ended with 2 12 inchers and 9 to keep and a bunch of 4-7 inchers too. we ended with 7 kept walleye/saugers and through 3 more bigger fish back and 3 crappies. our totals were 12 walleyes/saugers and a bunch of crappies to end the day. it was an incredible day to say the least. will post some pics later

I had a good Sunday too, The wife and I hit Ripley at 7:00AM could not find the gills but we did catch a few Large mouth bass of course she caught the bigges one. Then after dropping the wife off at home. I then went and launched at K-Mart motored down to the mouth from 1:00PM till 4:00PM and popped 1 17″ walleye, 2 16″ saugers and 1 16 1/2″ sauger. Saw a few nice eyes caught on the wall motoring up and down the river also.

i forgot to add we were fishing 8-10 ft of water and using jig/minnows vertically jigged very subtly. we looked in the stomachs of the walleyes/saugers and found whitebass and sheepshead all about 4-5 inches in length so the fish are defiantely feeding well now and all the fish we caught were fat.
