I’m retired from law enforcement and now a full time fisherman. Saugeye has become my major with smallmouth, largemouth and crappie my minors. Look forward to sharing all things fishing!

Welcome to the Forum, Hollywood. Why Saugeye and not Walleye?

Well, I think it was a lack of clarification on my part...many of the areas that are readily available to me have saugeye and very few if any walleye populations. It’s convenient to have 3 lakes within a 40 minute drive of my home (of which 2 are flood plain lakes). I wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to fish walleye! it’s a convenience factor...

Lake Guntersville has a untapped Sauger population. The Sandy, Rubble Rock are prime fishing areas... The “CLEAR WATER 💦 “ are my first choice...

Where regulations allow, You can sometimes fishes a second lure in combination with the first. Take a lure with a lot of action, like the #7 Rapala Jointed Floating Minnow, and rig it behind a lure with less action like the #9 Floating Rapala. The trailing lure is 18 inches behind the first lure, attached via leader and snap to the rear split ring of the first lure. Rigged like this, the lead bait loses most of its action, but at times saugers much prefer the dead lure to the action option. Rigs can be further modified using a heavy jig to anchor the rig in place of the bell sinker, with the angler presenting a jig and two cranks in combination.
