@@thebumpchannel Bro you ever come over to the falls the bite is great there sometimes. You should join the falls of the ohio facebook group. Its a great group and useful.
@@johnmcook1 fish a lot this spring for hybrids. Made a few videos. Fished some when water was up in willows and later in the cliffs. Haven't been down to wickets this year....baseball started back up.
I love fishing for these and they are delicious to eat. I fish here at the hydro plant. It’s right behind my house. Twister tails is what we call those baits. I need to restock. They used to have places where they sold them of all sorts, sizes and colors cheap. Kind of like a flea market but I can’t find them anymore.
I fish the Ohio up around Pittsburgh and hard pass on eating fish out of there. I know Alcosan (treatment plant for Pittsburgh just below confluence of Allegheny and Mon) puts the water back cleaner than what's in the river, but still not doing it. We catch all kinds of stuff from channel, flatheads, hybrid bass, smallmouth, caught a 6lb carp the other night, watched a guy pull out a 34" muskie couple weeks ago, walleye. You never know what you are pulling up if using crawlers. I want to give jigging for the walleye and sauger a try. I have never caught a sauger before but a guy I run into down there jigs a lot and said he catches them on the regular. Nice video and tight lines...
I eat either walleye or sauger out of the Ohio River three to four times a year. I fish in Ohio below the New Cumberland Lock and Dam. Ironically, over the past two years I have been catching more walleye than sauger. The sauger seem not to be as plentiful as they once were, but the walleye seem to have increased in population. I occasionally catch a jumbo perch below New Cumberland and I will eat those also. Besides sauger, walleye, and perch the only other species I occasionally eat are Ohio River crappie.
Both Kentucky and indiana now have tighter regs on both species. Since Indiana updated their regs, the two states' regs now align on both sides of the river down here.
@@thebumpchannel I'm in Ohio just across the river from Wheeling WV. It's not bad up here but I grew up on this river and remember what it was like in 60's and up. I was a teenager in 70's and was fishing all of the time. I live very close to the river.Catfish and carp were about all that could live in it. Bass, crappie and other species just were not in there unless they came down a creek . I mercy killed many fish covered in large tumors, 3 eyes, no eyes, you get it. the steel mills and plating plants dumped acids all of the time. every once in awhile there would be a fish kill. The fine was so small they would just dump at night and if they got caught they would just pay the fine. Only the strong survived in that river then. It's much different now and they really need to try to keep it that way.
In Ohio our EPA has a website that provides detailed info on fish consumption. It varies by species and location. Your state EPA probably has something similar. In Ohio it is reportedly safe to eat sauger from the Ohio River once per week.
If it's sunny, use something shiny. Anything under 4 inches. When it's cloudy, something white, Anything with movement. Swimbaits, crankbaits, grubs, etc.
Yes eat fish out of Ohio river! Fishing the Bellville hyro on the WV side ! No problems telling the difference between Sauger and Walleye ! Saugeye and Walleye maybe ! Best tip I herd Bump say if up aren't get hung up, u aren't going to catch ! These fish are ambush predators ! They do taste good ! Some the best eating fish there are Saugeye, Sauger, and Walleye !
I don’t eat the fish out of the Ohio. Probably not that big of a deal but a little hesitant still. All of the fish I catch look healthy and fight hard.
Overall I think evenings are best. See this video: th-cam.com/video/B9ts2dhxvTM/w-d-xo.html I have caught plenty early and mid day as well, but evening bite seems most consistent. I use anything from 2" to 4". Not sure the bait size matters all that much. Have caught just as many bigger ones on 2-2.5" as I have a 4" presentation.
What year was this? I've been down there many times, yet I don't remember seeing that tall concrete structure around the 5:00 mark when you're showing what lures to use.
Honestly for years I wouldnt eat the fish out of the river.. but now I will eat the walleye/sauger and crappie out of the river I dont know if the river is as unclean as people say but the fish taste good so I'll let other people make the decision for themselves
I've noticed the bigger walleye 22-26" arnt as good but the sauger and smaller walleye 14-18" are delicious, I dont know about where your at but at pike island we barely see a sauger over 16"
We're on the Ohio river right across from downtown Louisville. Sauger population is pretty healthy. Size limit is 14" for both sauger and walleye. 16" fish are pretty common.
I see. Here in ohio we dont have a size limit just a bag limit which I think is in a way a bad idea alot of our bigger fish get taken so I think that has alot to do with why people seem to be catching less and less fish every year
Yea I eat fish from the river. It's the same ground water, except moving and not stagnant. If someone were dumping chemicals in the river, it would be rather obvious. Refer to the KY dept of Fish & Wildlife website on how OFTEN to eat fish.
Not sure why people make a youtube video and start giving out bad info like they're the best in the world. 1) Why does everyone that catches a sauger have to explain what they look like? 2) dusk and dawn are not always the best times, depends a lot on water clarity. 3) 3/8 ounce jigs aren't that hard to find, they even have them at walmart. 4) From a boat in 20 or so feet of water a 1/2 ounce will work, but not from shore? 1/8 ounce works great (Yes even in current). 5) Curly tails are not the best. Bucktail tipped with a minnow kills on every river, even when we fish the Ohio. Blade baits too 6) I've used 1/8 ounce in faster current than that. 7) Even DNR have trouble sight telling the difference from a sauger/saugeye.
suzy mcalister why so angry about this? None of the info is bad, just what has worked best for him. No one wants to lose a bunch of (more expensive) buck tail jigs and blade baits all day long either so I’d agree with cheap jigs and grubs. Settle down
Thanks for the comment. Bucktails and minnows produce well, they are just much more expensive. That what's so great about fishing is there isn't just 1 way to do it. We are bank fishing and have a decent walk in so don't really want to haul minnow buckets etc. Also, this area is near downtown Louisville which is sort of a "bait desert". There are no bait shops nearby, most are on outer edges of town. I have tried 2 Walmarts and Academy nearby and could not find any cheap jigs larger than 1/4 oz. Bass Pro has some but nearly twice as expensive. Buying online works best for me.

Yeah they are a great bait for sauger and walleye, they really produce.
So cool!
I have ever seen Sauger only in a picture book, I had caught Walleye but Zander and Sauger are in my bucket list. Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Gonna have to give that spot a try! Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out some of my other videos and subscribe to my channel. More content coming!
Done and done.
I just love to fish anytime I can, I personally just enjoy the fight take a picture and release
Right on! Thx for watching!
Just came across this spot last week but the water level was too high. Looking forward to getting back there soon when the water goes down!
Yeah I have had better luck when water is lower as well.
Great video, i don't keep out of the Ohio with it being the Most polluted river in the US
Thanks. Glad you liked it. Yeah some do....some don't. Recommendations are 1 meal per month.

You bet! Thanks for watching and thx for the comment!
Have you been down to the falls recently? I might give it a try soon.
Haven't been since Thanksgiving. Went to Florida. Water level has been really high.
Do you ever see any saugeye in the Ohio River? I caught my biggest walleye in the summer at 25" and 6 pounds in there.
Yes. They can be found here as well. Haven't caught one myself.
Yes, I eat fish from the river. River is going way up here after all the rain, thus no sauger fishing for awhile.
Yeah I struck out Friday after Thanksgiving.

Sauger my favorite to eat from the Ohio River. Further from Cincinnati the cleaner Lol
Can't imagine Louisville is much cleaner.

Nice video. I live on the river and mainly use twister tails. Do u ever use swim or blade baits?
If it's sunny, use something shiny. Anything under 4 inches. When it's cloudy, something white, Anything with movement. Swimbaits, crankbaits, grubs, etc.
Swimbaits yes. Most places I fish too rocky for blade baits. Will just lose them.
Great video just subbed
Thanks for the sub!
How do you get access to that area next to the power house? Great video!
By boat only now. Has been closed since Covid started unfortunately.
@@thebumpchannel Thanks. I thought that might be the case.

Agree! Love fishing there! Thx for watching!
Yes I do eat sauger out of the Ohio river.
A lot of people do...and a lot of people won't. Yet we all drink it, lol.
Do you catch more sauger in the morning or evening, and looks like you're using a 3 inch group, does that produce bigger fish
Overall I think evenings are best. See this video: th-cam.com/video/B9ts2dhxvTM/w-d-xo.html

started eating bluegill & catfish from the ohio in 1960 ,, I should be glowing in the dark; but still I am healthy at 66
Haha thanks for the comment! Keep on fishing and keep healthy! Tight lines!
What year was this? I've been down there many times, yet I don't remember seeing that tall concrete structure around the 5:00 mark when you're showing what lures to use.
Two years ago. 2019. Been closed to public since March 2020.
The shut the ky side down awhile, need a boat or cross the bridge. Reciprocal license agreement
Sauger are such a beautiful fish aren't they!! And they taste awful good also. It's almost a shame to eat them.
Yes they are! Such a neat fish!
Yes we do eat catfish from the Ohio river
I've never eaten kitties from the river. Thx for the comment!
Honestly for years I wouldnt eat the fish out of the river.. but now I will eat the walleye/sauger and crappie out of the river I dont know if the river is as unclean as people say but the fish taste good so I'll let other people make the decision for themselves
I kinda feel the same way....not sure what to think. I plan to keep a few sauger next time. I am sure the wife will refuse to eat them though.

It's about 20 minutes from casino, but access has been shut down since Covid in March. No idea when it will open back up to the public.
