Hit Alum this morning with a friend.. managed 5 keeper eyes in less than 2 hrs.. The bite was on this am. We hit the water at about 7:00 am and was pulling out before 10:00 am because his 9.9 kicker motor was taking a dump on us. Took about an hour to find them but once we did it was on. Every pass a fish was on.. Lost a few but that is to be expected..
Here are the specifics....
We started out fishing deeper water south of the marina (20+ FOW) and decided to hit a few points on the way back to the dock. We decided to try a true blue spot that I rely on for saugeye and that's where we found them.. We trolled at about 3.5 to 4 mph according to the gps and graph recorder.. All fish were taken using either a shad rap or bright colored worm harness in about 9 FOW.. Lost a couple nice lures due to snags and a few fish because I was late on the hook set or too early but it was worth the trip..
Here's a pic where these fish were taken and hope it helps some other saugeye anglers out there..
Not too bad considering I haven't tried fishing for them since my old man passed away 3yrs ago I guess once you have it , you don't loose it...
