5/8 Report

[Rivernut]

Was out Tuesday from 9am-7pm,what a day. Caught a lot of really nice saugers, some decent eye's,and some big white's. Most of the sauger's and eye's were in the Prescott area in front of docked boats. Biting till noon and again real well till it was time to leave. Whites in the bottle neck area out in front of the Kinni. All fish caught on 1/4 oz. jigs, glow, and fatheads. Don't forget stinger hooks. Many fish nailed w/the stingers. The bigger whites seemed to want the bait dragged versus popping. The saugers were rather aggresive biters. What a day. Good luck to all and see you on the water.

Good work....Got out around 3, fished till 8..caught about 12 or so, most around 16" with a couple stubbies and one or two over 20"....leeches were the ticket pulled along a sand break from 16'-24' of water.

I was out yesterday boated 1 short eye & 5 nice sauger. Many light biters were missed, when using a stinger with a minnow, do you just leave the stiner hanging? How about with a leech?

Good fishing!

I do leave the stinger hanging. I was using a 1/4 fireball jig. Find bottom, snap up about a foot, let drop. As usual, many hits were on the fall so watch your line. The saugers that we were catching were hammering the minnow. And the whities wanted the jig/minnow dragged or kifted very little. Hpoe this helps! Mike

Hey Rivernut,

Were you north or south of the bridge?

Thanks

TJ, we were catching most of the saugers/walleyes just north of the Prescott launch. Drifting in front of all the docked boats. The whities were thick in main channel straight out from the Kinni. Hope this helps.
