In this video I am sauger fishing Ohio river just below the Falls of the Ohio near the McAlpine locks and dam on the Ohio River. I am bank fishing for sauger using soft plastics such as swim baits, curly tail grubs, and flukes. Sander species (sauger, walleye, saugeye) tend to feed at night, so we are fishing just before dark. The sauger had formed a pattern of moving into shallow water just before dark to feed. This was the third night in a row fishing this pattern.

How to catch sauger on the Ohio River

Looking forward to this area opening back up after the corona virus pandemic. Been closed close to 6 months now.
Have you tried heavy spoons or rattle traps. They also work good.
Bass are really good eating
Sure are. Thx for watching!
i would love to get up there and catch some sauger and walleye
Very dependent on water levels and hydro output. Its hit and miss. Walleye are few and far between at this dam.
My favorite lure for sauger is the 5/8 blade bait vertical jigging, very effective method.
Good stuff! Thx for watching!
Went to the same spot last Sunday. Fished for two hours and not a single bite.
That's fishing for you. Not surprising though considering the water levels and clarity. Water has been high for a long while now and is quickly approaching flood levels. Water is 40 ft higher now than when this video was shot.
@@thebumpchannel what was the river level in this video?
Catch them the same way at the Hannibal Locks and Dam on the Ohio. Nice Sauger and monster walleye from late fall into March
Awesome. I need to check out some other dams & pools as I find time.
be careful about standing down in that water. seen somebody get swept away a few years back they found his body by sherman minton.
For sure. That's must have been awful.
RIP
Jig head tipped with a mini
Thx for watching!
You made me LOL,,, Next time, put some 13" marks on your pole,,, or measure the width or height of your bucket!?
You won't need to pull out that tape,,, or maybe, not drop those fish!. ;>)
Thanks, for an enjoyable video!
Take Care.
How recent is this?
Late Nov
I’ve seen you down there before but didn’t know you had a channel
Thx for watching!

Not sure. Didn't look to close. Thx for sharing!
how do you get down there

Bump, really enjoying your videos. Thank you! Went down to McAlpine today. Not really familiar with area. Wanted to fish the “upper”. Thought I needed to go to visitor center to get there but it was barricaded “temporarily closed”. How do I get to where you’re fishing here?
They have restricted access beginning at start of Corona in March. I think they also have some repairs or construction going on as there is a large maintenance barge there.
Its unclear when it will reopen to the public.
@@thebumpchannel okay, thanks for confirming. So I do have to go up through the visitors center to get to that spot?
@@jasonwheatley2252 over the bridge. Check out the Mcalpine video on my channel.
What size jighead are you using? Is 1/4oz heavy enough or do you go bigger? Great video!!
I usually use 3/8 to 1/2 oz in heavy current
Anybody know how the fish are biting at greenup dam
Never fished Greenup...how is it?
I’ve fished the falls a lot but I don’t know where this is. Is this across the George Washington boat ramp
Shipping port island. Closed to public since covid started.

Shoot that's the spot I was trying to get to the other day but it was closed. Went up to the upper falls didn't get any luck there either. Are there specific spots that are good there?
Yeah its been closed since COVID started.
How do I get down there. I’m in my 70,s and would like to try this location.
Been closed off since March 2020 when COVID started. Its a pretty good hike in, with some instable terrain. May be tough depending on how easily you get around.
Anyone know if they’ve opened this spot back up to public since corona?
Nope. Still closed.
Do you have to take a boat to this spot?
Normally no, but they have restricted access to this area due to COVID and maintenance/repair of the locks. It is currently closed to the public but can be accessed by boat.

Please give it a thumbs up and subscribe!
@@thebumpchannel yeah that's what I saw at the beginning of the year closed to public. Been playing in the only pools in the raging falls. Hit a few 18 inch sauger thrown a bunch of 14s back.
Way too heavy a rod for sauger.
Works for me. Especially on days like this in early fall, when we still occasionally catch good sized hybrids with same presentation.
Thanks for watching!
Where do you park to get down there?
Unfortunately it has been closed for over a year now. Not sure it if it will open back up.
