I was out last night for about 1 1/2 hours. Mostly suager, after and at dusk. Large minnows on chartrues jigs with a chartruse and white swirl did the trick. No one walleye last night, just saugers, but larger sauger than average.

The bite was at the mouth of the drains and not in the drains as the water has dropped. Not sure if that will help.

Yup...it is muddy when it is warm. I was happy to see the ground firm and the mud stiff from the cold last night...not as bad as earlier in the week for mud that way.

 this isn't a report, but I'm looking for a place to stay near the dam Tuesday night... Hopefully somewhere near Newtown.  Anyone know of a hotel/resort nearby?

sounds to me like you guys need to stock up on leeches in late august and then try to keep them alive throughout the fall.    we've managed to keep about 3 dozen alive and now i wish i would've kept more cause i am done fishing out of my boat and i am pretty sure they are going to keep until we have ice in mid to late december.  can't wait to finally give the go-to leeches a try thru the ice.  been meaning to do this the last few years and never pulled it off.  w/ my luck it will all be for naught cause they won't like em in the winter.  but, it never hurts to try.
