Love the bait walk thru and as always the gear set up info !! I’ve got some of my biggest soggs on the pause ! The seem to love to slam it when you stop reeling and let it sit for just a few seconds !! Also gotten a bunch of monster walleyes this year out of the GMR ? Been a crazy year for some off the cuff fish man . Keep on slaying em man !!! LETS GO.........
I have yet to get any big walleye from the GMR a few 18-20 inchers. I believe are water is getting better and the walleye population in the Ohio river is becoming very great!
I appreciate you coming by and watching! I grew up about 25 minutes from Cincy. There are some very nice streams that go into the GMR down that way! I cant wait for spring
Really enjoying your channel, which I just discovered. I can honestly say I have never seen saugeye tips online. I don't think I've ever even seen a saugeye, although maybe the few sauger I've caught were saugeye. Anyway, I appreciate your stuff.
Just had you in mind bc I visited HHI again and caught a 27 inch 6lb sea trout and remembered our epic moment, great video as always I’ve watched u ever since I met u.
@@realdealriehle In my opinion some rise in water level makes them more active! Fish the dams with more water coming over. They love that oxygen and baitfish being pinned up against the dam
Going sometime this week. I’ll try to get on the river around West Carrollton give it a shot I’ve been on a serious stunk lately. Tom before I’ve only fish for Saldana one time before went and got some of them big Joshys from a coworker’s advice. Now I’m a use some of the techniques I’ve seen them on a couple of videos of yours and try to apply
heck yea man the colder it gets the slower you reel. remember bottom contact is crucial and prepare to lose a couple baits every now and then! thanks for watchin!
@@thecreekcrawler Scheels, Berkley, Cabelas, sell all the colors I brought them from berkley directly along with other Powerbait products and I like them alot. I Caught my pb Wiper on firetiger color at Greenlawn in Columbus and the Pic is on Berkleys website.
@@thecreekcrawler I am good friends with Joe and yes I have all the colors that they made and sold in America. They Sell overseas versions and they do not sell them here.
Homer lake IL stocked them 2 years ago, nobody fish's them and they blow the banks up all night, sadly almost no fight to them. Got my first one on chicken liver catfishing.
the river fish have some fight to them! They rip drag and dig like bass. Unfortunate nobody is taking advantage of your lake. They are awsome table fare and fun to catch
I don't really throw too many pricey lures when saugeye fishing in the rivers. If I do throw more expensive stuff it is in areas I know pretty well and have knowledge of where snags are located. Thats why I fish with cheap plastic swims or twisters to get a feel for the bottom before throwing jerkbaits and cranks
Caught my first saugeye last year fishing for sandies , now I fish for them. In my lake I've done best with kastmaster type spoons. But maybe I'm working my swimbaits too fast!
YES!!! I am so glad that happened. I need to make a new video there here soon. I would just go to a 1/4 jighead with a swimbait and slow roll it along the bottom of the falls
Most areas I fish I have a pretty good idea of what the bottom substrate is. Also if you keep your line tight and do not let your bait fall slack onto the bottom you wont snag as much
Question for you. When you’re bouncing paling the bottom , how are you avoiding getting snagged? GMR is full of snags and I seem to find every last one of them? Thanks
I usually know the bottom Contours because I throw a bunch in the same areas. I toss cheap twisters tails as recon baits 😂 after I find the snags I avoid them with my other baits
@@thecreekcrawler well I’ll be danged. That literally makes too much sense about the recon. Just got outta GMR about 30 minutes ago south of Hamilton where the water treatment plants let’s out. Smallies are hitting the Big Joshy today gizzard shad if anyone’s heading out that way. I’d have stayed but, we’ll…..my wife has the rest of my day planned for me. Also, I appreciate you and your channel. You reply to every dumb question I ask. As you can tell I’m just beginning to learn and your feedback and advice is helpful. Thanks again.
I would target any large sized dams and spillways. Your best luck right now would be throwing some jerkbaits with extremely slow pauses or slow rolling swimbaits along the bottom! I fish around Dayton so go to google maps and find some current thats the key! good luck
I have never been but I have heard an absolute metric ton of people talking about it! Maybe one day I will drive the 1.5 hour trip . From what I have heard its pretty dang good
@@thecreekcrawler It is man. The 2nd biggest saugeye I’ve caught was a 24.5” out of the spillway. This isn’t the best time of the year but once it gets to winter/spring time you can throw smithwicks and bring home limits of 20”+. That’s usually what I do
@@kyleigh2643 I would bet you can catch saugeye in every bit of that river.. Some of the most heavily stocked saugeye lakes in our state flow into the gmr
Catch N release 🤔 Most of us river guys release the fish so we can all enjoy catching them again ! We have many lakes that are stocked with saugeyes that can be caught and kept within the legal size and limits to eat!
@@thecreekcrawler you will. You lose a ton of baits saugeye fishing anyway. If you're not banging bottom constantly you're not doing it right. It's just the nature of the beast.
definitely! I have slayed them in 20 degree weather with guides freezing up on my rod.. bundle up and slow roll swimbaits along the bottom and wait for that tick!

I've also caught them on the "killer rig" if you're familiar
Haven’t heard of that one
Crappie jig on a leader tied to a rattling spook or a popper. Sandies jump on it and its how we caught our first saugeye's
Great video! I’m a local Cincinnati guy.
Glad I found your channel! Love this content!!!

My epic tumble down the hill lol 27 inches!!! holy smokes dude thats a gator!
Thanks for the tips. Just getting started and this helps a lot.
No problem let me know if you catch a fish on any of these lures and techniques I discussed in the video!
Gonna give it a try tomorrow. Hopefully the rain today doesn't cause the river to swell too bad.
@@realdealriehle In my opinion some rise in water level makes them more active! Fish the dams with more water coming over. They love that oxygen and baitfish being pinned up against the dam
@@thecreekcrawler I got lucky caught 5 small mouth. 👍
@@realdealriehle congrats! sounds like a good day
This is really cool thanks for the tips if I ever go there
You can apply the same tactics to the Hocking River. We have some saugeye but more than likely to catch walleye or sauger
Sweet vid as always. Jack bass thanks for the awesome job
Thanks Jack!
In WV, the fishing is nowhere near what it is in Ohio. God, I wish I could come home. Another cool and informative video, Sir.
Thank you! We have some quality fishing in our state for sure!
Where in WV do you live? They have done if the best trout streams east of the Appalachia’s

Great channel, caught my best saugeye yet and some white bass on this river other day
Nice! what size was the saugeye
I don’t have anything to measure length, not real big though just a nice one.
SUPER GEEKED THANKS FOR THE SHOUT OUT!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT TO LINK UP AGAIN !!!!!!!!!GREAT VIDEO BRO KEEP THEM COMING!!!!!!
Hey man I give credit where it is due! I appreciate the bag of pro grubs! I am about to order a few bags lol
Great video man
Thanks man
Berkley Pro Grub Opening Night color for natural water, Smelt and Firetiger are killer for the river as well
I may need to invest in a few more packs I love them!

What is the name of this Dam if possible. Thanks.
This is one of many dams along the GMR. Almost everyone you go to has an excellent ability to holding fish year round! Goodluck and tight lines
Chartruse Ice is the Green one
Thank You!! do you have any luck with these baits?
@@thecreekcrawler I am good friends with Joe and yes I have all the colors that they made and sold in America. They Sell overseas versions and they do not sell them here.
May I ask what rod and reel are you using
That’s a Daiwa regal and a TP1 black speed stick by lews. Thanks for watching!

Another great video. Thanks for the tips! Where on the Sciota do you go?
just a few dams the one near the columbus zoo and below stream
Called the smallmouth a football hahahhahah
It was a chunky feller lol
Great Video!! Have you ever thought about using steel leaders? I use them when I'm Saugeye fishing. And it's good insurance for the pricey lures.

Spoons are something I need to get onboard with!
I never used them til last year, this is year 2 of lake fishing. 50 yrs previous of pond fishing. Lakes are hard and expensive!!
Hello, I'm called the (Eight Rodd Banditt) 🎣 but my real name is Cory, thanks to you for the videos!
You must live close to me I fish this same spot all the time right outta west Carrollton
I am originally from Middletown but have moved to Southeast Ohio. I visit pretty often and when i do I always fish my old spots
That old tree finally got washed away, I have a hard time keeping an 1/8oz on the bottom it wants to wash away
YES!!! I am so glad that happened. I need to make a new video there here soon. I would just go to a 1/4 jighead with a swimbait and slow roll it along the bottom of the falls
@@thecreekcrawler yeah quarter Oz probably be fine. Hey how did you get to the other side that one time? Only way I see is kayak
@@collieer Yea I had my kayak and paddled over..lol
When are you going to start selling merch? I could use some new moisture wicking boxers.
What design would you like? CNR logo or my face lol
the slow retrieve is all fun and games until you get snagged on a rock
Most areas I fish I have a pretty good idea of what the bottom substrate is. Also if you keep your line tight and do not let your bait fall slack onto the bottom you wont snag as much
You're gonna lose baits saugeye fishing. It's the nature of the beast.
i feel like you left out a staple saugeye lure but I don't blame you for not wanting to throw a vibey in there
If I did a Indian Lake or Buckeye Lake how to I would have put the vibes in there for sure.
Was that the miamisburg dam
This is just south of Dayton yes
Question for you. When you’re bouncing paling the bottom , how are you avoiding getting snagged? GMR is full of snags and I seem to find every last one of them?

South of Dayton I don't know the name of it. right between miamisburg and franklin
goodluck!
Thank you hell wanna meet me there this weekend and show me around it I wanna get on some of you aren't busy
@@charlesbryant2187 I would man but I live near Athens. I visit there on occasion when I am visiting family. I grew up in the area though
Yeah was thinking of a place down around there to with my dad on lake logan how's it
Where is that spot your fishing at.i could never find it
Any spillway in the Dayton area will produce saugeye! That river is loaded with them

What time of year was this?
The time stamp on that video should be close to when I filmed it
Ok, I was confused because one place said "one year ago" and the other place said October 2020.

I do eat fish but the wife doesn't like me bringing home my catches lol
He went home and cooked that saugeye. lol I live very close to the Ohio River. It's loaded with them.
I hope he cooked it and enjoyed it! They are excellent table fair! The Ohio River is full of awesome fish!
You're forgetting the best spillway saugeye lure of them all......a bladebait!
Honestly, I have never used a bladebait. are you talking about a vibe?
Yep! It's about all I ever use for them now. It's just soooo damn effective!

Any Flatheads out there?
Yes some very nice sized ones too! Ive caught a few saugeye fishing!
Could you catch them this time of year ?
