The of numbers of Saugeyes are low but the fish are there and catchable. For the Saugeyes try bait rigs, crawler harnesses, or jigging spoons near the Lighthouse Marina Point, the Humps near Cemetary Bay, the area in front of the Main Beach, and the Boaters Swim Area in the daytime. In the evening or at night try trolling stickbaits over the humps or main lake points. The lake seems loaded with small Crappies with an occasional slab thrown in. The Largemouth Bass fishermen say that this year has been the best that they have seen in a while.
Limits are common and the average size is up from previous seasons.
Jigs, crawler harnesses or live bait rigs with medium to large Chubs or Suckers have been the ticket here. There have also been some good Saugeyes caught on jiging spoons along some of the banks in the lower end of the lake near the dam. Largemouth Bass are doing fair to good here with some really good fish being taken in tournament competition. The clear water has cooled down a little faster than some of the other lakes. The Smallmouth Bass have shut down for the most part and the Saugeyes are hard to find, as are the Muskies.
