IceKing72 0 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Caught a 20" sauger a week ago. Didn't take a picture cause i didn't know if that big or not. Link to post Share on other sites
bigfish24 0 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 walleye have a white spot on the bottom of their tail. Link to post Share on other sites
Boar 1,561 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 Link to post Share on other sites
lovebigbluegills 993 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) Link to post Share on other sites
Lakeside_Nelson 0 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? Link to post Share on other sites
MattL 56 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. Link to post Share on other sites
jwmiller33 11 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 nice saugers! are those from pool 4? it looks like pool 4 area behind you Link to post Share on other sites
MattL 56 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." Link to post Share on other sites

harvey lee 6 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. Link to post Share on other sites
roughfish29 0 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Peterson 0 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 wow, that little sauger is a beauty!is that common coloring? Link to post Share on other sites
IlliniWalli 1 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.
