I started fishing for Saugeye last year myself. Its pretty easy to pick up actually. It was a big change for me at first because I almost always fish ultralight rigs, so using a medium power rod took a little getting used to.
I don't have a boat, so I pretty much fish below dams on reservoirs - any place where there is turbid water that is reasonably deep. Most dependable lures I use are Smithwick Rattling Rogues and Suspending Rogues. Mostly use 1/3 oz size, although I may pick up a few of the limited edition 1/4 ones out now. Best colors are anything bright - Firetiger, Chartreuse, and Silver. White Twister Tails are good too, but I lose too many jigheads - gets annoying.
Hope this is a some help,
Jake
