Been killing the big saugeyes in alum. Untill it ices over anyone wanting to catch some good fat big eyes should b fishing now. A tuned jerk bait has been key.

These are some. Ive gone 6 times this fall and havnt gotten skunked once yet. At least one a time , 4 once and a couple doubles. Most nights is 2 hrs max.
Im going to probobly hit it this eve. Should be on fire tonight with the front comming in. Seems like the worse the weather the better the bite with saugeyes. Ill post if i go how the bite is.
Made it out for around hour and half. Had a good one on and lost it. Brother and my buddy didnt hit any. Wish i could have stayed longer. Sure they would have turned on soon. Guess next time. Sucks. Gota skunk. Missed a good one and lost my favorite rogue. Guess that means i have to go back soon for redemtion.

Are you trolling, casting, close to shore or open water?

Nice fish John. Have I mentioned a thousand times on here how much I hate second shift? I love the fall fishing from shore. No excuses, I should've hit Indian up on a weekend
Sorry Joe, havnt been on in alittle with Christmas and having 3 kids. Now that christmas is over i was acually able to get out for a couple hours tonight. Ive been fishing from shore, and fishing in a cove in southern part of alum. But went there 2night and still had ice over most of area i fish, so went to the crowded place everyone and there brother seems to go above the dam. Must have been 12 people there when i left. I ended up with one. Not real big, but adds TOO the ones hanging out in the freezer with my 8 pt i got this year. 
everything ive gotten this fall/ winter have come on smithwick rogues. Lot of people like rapala husky jerks, i use them and have caught lots on them, but rogues have better action. They need to be tuned some to keep them suspending and not rising or sinking in water for best results. The best time of year is november but as long as theres no ice you can catch them. Anyone who likes fishing should try it , especialy in fall. Most times after its sitting there on the pause, when you go to move it a little or twitch it they hammer it. Thats a great one JOHNROHIO. fatty female. My biggest was mid nov at 26.5. But didnt have the winter belly like that hog. I lost a hog that hammered it about a week ago. Last few ive gottn its just been awheight on when i go to move it. Looks like with temps and rain sat ill b able to hit cove again here by this comming week.

Another eye from aweek or two ago, plus hit alot of nice bass throwing the rogues for saugeyes.
Just started fishing bout 20 mins ago . my cove is ice free except for little chunks rite in the good area. Said fuck it and was trying to throw lure thru ice chunks in about 8ft of water and just hit this one. Ice will be gone by morn. But getting this one....so far has made the night. Ill post more pics if i get any more. Dammmm so fun!
Its a blast. Its very hit or miss. Usually short windows of active feeding. Sometimes the guy next to you has same setup but his lure has a slightly different tune as far as buoyancy and thts the difference in him geting six fish in 30 minutes and you getting nothing in three hours
So true. Sometimes its on when you start or other times fish for 3 hrs and nothing then youll hook 3 in 10 min time. Only fish in ohio you ccant target. On night on fire then next nothing. Most rewarding fish and excellent eating. Once you catch one on the jerkbait. Youll be hooked. Very addictive fishing
