TWRA TARP Program
Is TWRA still doing the TARP program? I caught this gem at the steam plant on Saturday. In years past I set goals to catch a TARP fish...this would be the first one I qualify for.

I wish I could have kept him for lunch, but I didn't come prepared. I went straight from the lake to my kid’s basketball games then to work signups for our rec baseball league. Since I wasn’t targeting sauger I didn’t bring a cooler to keep him.
Not to worry, I will be back to catch him at a later date.

I keep trying to go Saturday mornings and it doesn't work out. Didn't want to go this Saturday because I was worried the water quality would be crap and also it wasn't cold. Cold causes all the shad to stack up in that warm discharge and then initiates the feeding conveyor belt.
Looks like this coming satuday will be quite chilly and rain free so as of now I have 100% sure plans to go. Let's do it.

What a shame, that guy would have been destined for some hot coconut oil if that had been in my kayak!

Water temps take a lot more time to change than air temps. The bait is not going anywhere anytime soon. The only negative about the air temps being mild is that more boats will be on the water. There really is no reason/excuse to stay home if you want to catch fish...they are biting pretty consistently, it's all a matter of getting up and going.

That is one nice sauger there! It's a shame you couldn't keep it. Awesome eats it would have been.

Nice sauger, though I'd have thought it would have been a little more girthy this late in the winter. As far as the TARP goes, I helped a client from the weekend fill out two, one for a big walleye and one for a 20 inch smallie...
