[agelesssone]

Fished below Old Hickory dam tonight til about 8 PM. Caught a couple of white bass, three short (14 1/2 inchers) sauger, and one nice 19 inch walleye. The hits came close to the shore, not in deep water.

The wally and two sauger came on 1/4 oz jig with chartreuse and white twister tail. One sauger caught on 4" white minnow jerkbait.

The walleye will be released to the grease tomorrow night.

Spring is coming early, I need to be getting below one of these dam's. With the steady generation that has been going on this year, a lot of fish must be moving upstream. Congrats on the fish..

I talked to a fella in a boat that fishes the river almost daily. He fished below OH yesterday from 9 AM to 7:30 PM. He didn't boat a keeper sauger/walleye/saugeye all day.

He fished from the gates to 1/2 mile downstream to Mansker creek. Only caught cigars, white bass, etc.

Another person sent me a photo of his catch from below Cordell Hull and they had 24 FAT saugers laid out on a table. Soooo, where's our sauger??
