I have noticed that the saugeyes have been kind of hiding this year. Normally I catch quite a few around the bridges on 799 but this year, I have not gotten into them.Then again, I don't really target just saugeyes. the people I have talked to or heard talking, have been saying that they have not caught as many as normal. I do know they are there. Late last fall, a bunch of guys were gettign into them real good around the dam area. Catching 6-8 pound fish. I did not see this, but my uncle was in on it a couple trips.
Another thing that showed me they are still there, but at the same time made me realize why they might be a little more uncommon than before, is that a couple weeks ago, I saw a saugeye laying on the road that prob would have weighed 5-6 pounds if it were alive. But, there is was dead as could be. Not chewed on by animals, not covered in flies. Almost like it was fresh out of the water only it was dry and dead as can be. I could not believe it. It is these kind of people that make the fishing in the area worse.
