Finding the perfect setup for catching summer saugeye
Published: , in Outdoor News
Catching a saugeye in the summer is an ongoing lesson in humility. The fruitless casting in July can get old. Soon after a lackluster trip I return with a new idea, only to feel like Thomas McGuane, who famously said, “I may be the wrong person for my life.”
I have learned enough to catch them, just not as well as I expected. Finding them was the hardest lesson. Living on South Bass Island on Lake Erie taught me going at night time is the surest way to find them. Cast from shore, starting at sunset. We know walleyes come to the shallows in the fading light. I would later learn saugers and saugeyes do the same.
