News
Release
From the ODNR
June 21, 2006 MORE THAN 9,300,000
SAUGEYE AND WALLEYE FINGERLINGS RELEASED INTO OHIO WATERWAYS TO ENHANCE ANGLER
SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE
COLUMBUS, OH - A recently completed stocking
of more than 9,300,000 fish in state waterways by the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife will provide anglers with many great fishing
opportunities in future years.
Fifty-four reservoirs around Ohio each received
a share of 7,500,000 fingerling saugeye; more than 1,800,000 fingerling walleye
were stocked into an additional 15 lakes. Fish were stocked from mid-May through
the first week of June. “Thanks to the good weather we had this spring,
we were able to exceed our production goal for saugeyes,” said Jim Stafford, administrator
for Ohio’s fish hatchery program. The saugeye fingerlings (pictured here)
are a hybrid cross between a female walleye and a male sauger. Incapable of natural
reproduction, they must be stocked annually to provide fishing opportunities.
Saugeye fishing is a year-round pursuit and is productive in many lakes, as well
as in the tailwaters below dams. Saugeye were stocked in a number of popular fishing
spots, including Alum Creek Reservoir, Hoover Reservoir, Deer Creek Lake, Buckeye
Lake, and Indian Lake in central Ohio. Grand Lake St Mary’s in northwest Ohio,
C J Brown Reservoir at Buck Creek State Park in southwest Ohio, and Berlin Reservoir
in northeast Ohio were some of the more popular locations stocked with walleyes.
Adult saugeye and walleye can be caught with both artificial and live bait.
Jigs tipped with minnows or night crawlers and night crawler harnesses probably
account for most of the inland saugeye and walleye caught by anglers. Another
popular and effective method is to troll shad-imitating crankbaits, especially
during the mid and late summer months.

Bob's Saugeye Size Chart Cost per pound for fish
fillets
A couple yrs ago, I averaged out how much per saugeye. Of course,
gas prices were half back then. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 per saugeye.
It cost me around $15 for 5 hrs of saugeye trolling, truck gas and we averaged
7-8 keepers per trip. Half that $15 was for lost baits, LOL!
Saugmon
$15 dollars a pound? Get real. Don't forget to add in the cost for the boat, motor
and trailer, boat insurance, equipment, fuel, mainentance, props, etc. When asked,
I generally reply that my cost per pound of fish fillets is around $800. Of course,
I am also a very bad fisherman. But hey. It's worth it. Therapy cost much more!

all fish where released unharmed.

This
is my typical catch for the last 10 days. Majority of the fish we caught was around
west side of cranetown-towards the moose, state campground and blackhawk area.
I have a triangle pattern working all those areas. June is the best time of
yr for me on trolling for saugeye, and the end of the month yields the 5-6 pounders.

Saugeye
Limit Discussion New State
Record Saugeye Confirmed OUTDOOR WRITERS of OHIO, Inc. RECORD FISH COMMITTEE Outdoor
Writers of Ohio All-Tackle Record Fish Committee; Tom Cross Chairman A new Ohio
state record fish has been certified by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio All-Tackle
Record Fish Committee, December 7, 2001. Fred Sulek of St. Clairsville, OH, has
caught a new Ohio state record saugeye weighing 12.83 pounds from Clendening Reservoir
in Harrison County on the night of November 19 at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Sulek was wading
and fishing along the shoreline of Clendening Reservoir that late evening casting
a Rat-L-Trap into the shallow waters when he hooked and landed the record fish.
Mr. Sulek was using a spinning rod loaded with 4 lb. test line and has caught
several large saugeyes from Clendening Lake, some weighing as much as 10 pounds.
Sulek's record saugeye was 30 inches long, with a 19-˝ inch girth. A saugeye is
a hybrid cross between a sauger and a walleye. Division of Wildlife fisheries
biologist Ed Raffle of the Highlandtown Fish Unit identified Mr. Sulek's record
saugeye. Fred Sulek's catch replaces the old saugeye record of 12.42 pounds held
by Daniel D'Amore of Swanton, Ohio, that was caught at Lake Logan, on March 29,
1993. Thank you Ray Wise for sharing this report. Notice from Fish Management
and Research
I've heard requests from a number of anglers over the past
few years for a length limit on saugeyes. Let me run through a bit of our rationale
for why things are managed the way they are, and what we've done recently to try
to help the situation. We use length limits for the management of a number of
fish species in Ohio. Those length limits usually have something to do with trying
to allow fish to reach adult spawning size before they are subject to harvest.
In other words, we have strong biological reasons for using this type of regulation.
In the case of a non-reproducing fish like saugeye however, there is no biological
reason for a length limit. In this case, a length limit would simply be a judgment
call as to what a "quality" fish is. When anglers ask for a length limit, and
there is no basis in biology for one, what they are asking in essence is for their
idea of what a "keeper" is, to be imposed on everyone. When you look at cross-section
of anglers in Ohio, you find a variety of levels of skill and experience. For
very experienced anglers, a half dozen 12-inch saugeyes is a bad day. For entry-level
(new) anglers, it may be the difference between being "hooked on fishing" and
going golfing the next weekend. Participation in fishing and hunting is declining
nationwide. Now is not a good time to impose experienced angler's values on anglers
with limited experience. On the bright side for folks like yourself, is a new
regulation that will take effect on March 1, 2001. This regulation will reduce
the bag limit on inland walleyes, saugeyes, and sauger from 10 fish to 6 fish.
This should help to prevent over-harvest on our inland lakes, while at the same
time allowing anglers to judge for themselves, what a "keeper" fish is. This is
in keeping with our philosophy of making management decisions based on biology,
and staying away from making value judgments for anglers. Thanks for your interest
in our saugeye program. We will continue to try to make it the best it can be
through judicious use of regulations and stocking. Please share the above information
with other Indian Lake saugeye anglers if you get the chance. Good fishing, Ray

November 13, 2009 - OK I just gotta up my usual post. IL impresses me once again. Best dagone lake in Ohio... not best inland lake... The Best Lake in Ohio. 15" craps, pike nearing 30", saugeye everywhere you step, a very healthy largemouth population, perch that'll rip a trolled eye lure (I swear some of the perch have beards in IL), a good mix of cats to keep things fun, and even a monster carp now and again to rip line off and make you wonder just for a minute what it is. The crappie this fall are about the healthiest fish I've ever seen and absolutely the biggest, fattest crap hogs I've ever seen anywhere in Ohio over the past 5 decades (give or take ten years). I think I'm in love.

I AGREE. BLUEGILLS ARE REALLY ON NOW, NICE ONES TOO. HAVE NOT HAD MUCH CRAPPIE ACTION YET, NOR HEARD OF ANY. I'VE BEEN CATCHING GOOD NUMBERS OF 8 INCH PLUS GILLS ALONG CHANNEL BANKS AND PAD BEDS IN 3-5 FEET OF WATER. USE SMALL BOBBERS AND LIVE WAX WORMS. I'VE FOUND THE BIGGER ONES BITE VERY LIGHTLY HERE LATELY. ALSO A LITTLE SAUGEYE ACTION EVENINGS IN THE NORMAL SPOTS BUT NOTHING HOT YET.
October 14, 2009 - Saugeye
Was up last Thursday, caught 14 kept 3. Went back Friday and caught 1. No wind, lake was flat. Was up today with a friend and caught about 20, kept 8. Like the other posts said, it is hit or miss right now and they are running small. I only keep 15" and up.

August 20, 2009 - Crappie

4, 2009 - Perch - Try using a bobber in conjunction with a perch rig. Otherwise,
the bait just lays on the bottom. Some perch rigs have one depth, I use the ones
with two depths. Sometimes they like minnows, sometimes part of a worm, sometimes
a med. size redworm. Keep trying. They will move around, so if you catch one get
your bait right back in again. The bobber is to hold the jig vertical, bobber
can be under water.

July 23 - Catfish - We went
to dream bridge yesterday in the reain and pounded crappie and cat fish.... they
were biting off a bobber and jig about 3 to 4 feet deep... I was glad that
the rain finally hit.....
The Best There Is
July 4 - Bass - Was able to take my cousin
out on the lake sunday while he is home on leave after his safe return from Afganistan.
We threw topwater frogs most of the morning and had 9 blow-ups, only able to hook
and land 3 though. Was great to watch my cousin land a nice 3lb 10oz bass that
just exploded through to crush his frog.

2007 - Saugeye
My Dad got the Longest of the year. Hit like a snag then
started coming in like a hawg saugeye. Turned out to be a Red/white/and Blue 45"
Old Glory Wind Sock, LMAO! Still in like new shape,so wasn't on the bottom very
long. Later on in the same area,he got his Fish Ohio 21.5",so his personal best!!
We got a total of 7 saugeye,6 of them in the 15"-16" range and a dozen dinks.
Also threw back a nasty looking brown bullhead. 1st bullhead I've ever caught
trolling. The bite is getting better,but water temp climbed up to 80 degrees.
