bigfish24 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 walleye have a white spot on the bottom of their tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boar Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Dont walleyes only have that distinct black spot on the real of the dorsal along with the other basic characteristics? boar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebigbluegills Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 According to the rule book, walleyes have a white tip on the bottom of their tail, and a black spot at the back of their dorsal fin. Saugers have neither of those characteristics.This isn't mentioned in the book, but the saugers I've caught appear "splotchy," and don't have the green and gold coloring as much as walleyes do.The fish in the last picture I would say is a saugeye, as it has characteristics of both a walleye and a sauger (splotchy, black spot at the back of the dorsal fin, and I couldn't see a white tip on the tail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeside_Nelson Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Here-Kitty-Kitty, that is definitely a typical pale river walleye. Did you happen to catch that going for cats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattL Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I caught a few sauger between 20"-21" this year. I really want to get one a few inches bigger to put on the wall sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmiller33 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 nice saugers! are those from pool 4? it looks like pool 4 area behind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattL Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 nice saugers! are those from pool 4? it looks like pool 4 area behind you Thanks. Yes this is pool 4 in the top 2 and Pepin in the bottom. I thought about blurring them out, but these are by no means "secret spots." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yes, I hit the river one day last week and the fish are going ok. I did not land any sauger but I did get some nice fish. The largest was not that big going 23" but I got some nice eaters.All on a jig and plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughfish29 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 my dad got this nice eater today. we caught good amount of saugers, but only one eater i liked the color on this little cigar sauger. bummer the pic turned out so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 wow, that little sauger is a beauty!is that common coloring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniWalli Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 saugeyes - cross between male sauger and female walleye - dont have spots on the dorsal (maybe a few at the base) like a walleye but have blotches on the sides like a sauger. we catch them occasionally down this way on the big river and have caught some on p4, too. btw, great pix guys. any sauger over 20 inches is a trophy in my book. 24 inchers is my biggest. heres a 22 incher from a couple years ago.
