John Wipperfurth & his son Isaac fished went out with me today and we found blade baits worked the best until the last hour or so of the day. Jigs tipped with minnows worked the best at that time.
John definitely had the hot hand with his high jigging blade bait technique. Along with several average size saugers, he also managed to pull in two of the three saugers over 20" long. One was a really nice 21-3/4" sauger.
We had to keep the boat on the move for the most part while jigging today in order to stay in contact with the active fish.
Our best depth was again between 19-22' of water.
Surface water temperatures are running between 47 & 49 degrees depending where on the main lake you are.
