You should try Hageys Catfish Hotel just down the river from Shiloh,for lunch or dinner,faces the river,right on the riverbank! Pull the boat up,and walk up the steps for lunch!
To answer one of the questions, most sauger jigs are 1oz, and many folks use a minnow and a small curly tail grub as a trailer. Braided line, about 15-20 test is a real advantage in current and deep water. Sauger populations are waaaay down from late 70’s and early 80’s. I had many 15 fish legal limits over 30#. Just not there in numbers and size.
Back in the 80’s my brother had. Cabin one mile below Pickwick dam, he estimated he hooked and released 10,000 saugar per season. The limit at that time was 15 and length was shorted. Maybe one in a hundred would be legal size. 😊
Do you know of any areas accessible to bank fishermen looking to catch saugers at the Pickwick Dam or downstream? I'm thinking the area next to the generators will be too rough. Thanks!
I recently moved to Adamsville. Can we fish anywhere along the Tn river? I walk Shiloh park a few times a week with my dogs. Full of history it is beautiful..... Lovely video thank you. Looking forward to hopefully watching more.
Either side of the Savannah bridge is good in the Spring. Fish the down stream side of the island too. Ask some of the locals. They're pretty good at passing along some good info
i live 2 miles from the spot he is fishing.. i sauger fish on average 45 days a year when they are biting.. you do not know what you are talking about.. and it could get someone in trouble from reading your incorrect post.. if you are so certain come on down this spring fill your boat full of 14 inchers and show them to a game warden.. have fun paying that fine..
I am an avid walleye and sauger fisherman...Do you know of any guides willing to give a tutorial of the area. I am coming down from Indiana. By the way I really enjoyed the show!

Off topic...most US battlefields/Parks in the south have only US soldiers buried with markers as the Yankees mass buried the Confederates.
Saugers are great fish!
Here WV on the South Fork river my father in law caught 24 in saucer !! Had no way to weigh him .

These are more 'native' to southern river systems 😅than walleye i think...hopefully we won't have to rely on restocking...

Thanks so much. I will give it a try.....
I thought when you foul catch a fish you must release it? Why did you keep that sauger you foul hooked
where get jig great show and history lesson
Sauger have to be 15" long to keep
nope. no length limit, you can only have 1 of your 10 be 16" or bigger
nope. wrong. below pickwick dam where he is fishing all sauger must be 15" and no limit on over 16" fish
nope

@@lukkyluciano you might want to look at that again. 15” and limit of 10.

I really don't know of any. I just drifting the river north of the Savannah TN bridge over the flats
not many sauger and walleye in tennessee river anymore they stopped stocking them a while back
thanks what ramp do you use? and when is prime time of year? thanks again!
We put in at Savannah. Usually Feb - March is prime times
I want to know how many boats you got every time I see your new boat
I don't ever keep any for very long. Since we (G3 Boats) have lots of models, I try and use as many as I can to highlight them.
so much for the camera man getting to fish...
...not that there’s anything wrong with that
I live in savannah and me and my dad know the river good but all we fish for is catfish

those are wannabe walleye lol come to Wyandotte Michigan I'll put you on some real walleye
I hear you. Sauger and some small walleye are about all we have on the Tennessee River. Plus they are very good to eat
G3 Sportsman good eating is the most important lol
G3 Sportsman do your walleye get the reddish strip of meat in them during the spawn?
if so I have a pretty decent tip on how to get it to pull out of the fillet
I dont recall ever seeing it but heck Ive not cleaned a sugar in awhile
