Date Fished: 11/23/2007
Water Temperature: 45
Water Clarity: 0 Fished the mighty Ohio the day after Thanksgiving. Put in at 12:30pm and fished until 5:00pm. Gosh was it COLD! Air temps were at the highest only around 30. Went to the dam and saw there were 5 gates open and a lot of current. So we went to the left of the lock wall and their were 7 boats lined up along the lock wall on the Ohio side. We fished for 4 hours and got our limit on sauger, 12 keepers between 14"-18". We were using 1/2oz. silver buddies but in brass color and some dipped in chartreuse paint. We caught, no lying, over 175 sauger! We quit counting at 165 and caught several more. Most were between 8" - 12". It took us that many fish to cull through to get our limit. We caught probably around 40 walleye,with the same size problem, too small. Water temps were 45 degrees. Fish were caught right off of the bottom, jigging up and down. Depth 21'. All of the boats on the wall were catching as many as we were. In fact the next boat up from us were catching more thanwe were. At 4:30, we decided to go fish the Ky side bank with crankbaits and try for some smallmouth or whitebass. We caught 10 white bass, 12"-18". Biggest was 18", every bit of 3lbs. We could have caught more, but decided to get off the river before it got dark at 5:00pm.
No bass or drum this time around. Wow! What a day!
