Went out Thanksgiving morning to scratch the fishing itch for a few hours around the steam plant and popped a nice sauger and some cats and rolled a few other heavy fish that got off.
Went out again yesterday and got a short walleye on the first pass and a 14" crappie that came from 33 ft of water. Popped another nice sauger on another pass. Then went further upriver and had that striper about rip the rod out of my hand snap-jigging a spoon. That was a memorable fight. on the hook set it felt just like familiar walleye weight and a few deep head shakes, then i guess he didnt like what he was feeling on his end and was off to the races humming the drag and b-lined right for some trees. luckily i was able to turn him back out into the main river. Not a huge one, i would say about 10 lbs but on 8lb test it took a few minutes of back and forth to get to the boat, so that was fun!
all in all a pretty productive few outings. doesnt seem like there are alot of saugers/eyes in there yet, but ive never fished there before these 2 trips so i dont know whats good and not good down there in regards to amounts of fish being caught.
