Got out around 5:30, launched out of Prescott and headed up the Croix a ways. It was a little slow, but still got some nice fish. We ended the day with 9 keepers (8 saugers and 1 eye).  I had one of my better days in a couple of weeks for myself. Got 3 15" Sauger, 2 16" Sauger, 1 16" Eye, 1 16.5" eye and a 17" Sauger. Those went to the box, then there were quite a few shorts that hit the line as well. Had some nice 7" saugers tearing it up today. Got to get out with Andy and Garrett, always good times with good guys.

We were handling the river with crank baits and we were pretty productive.

Way to go sandman! One question, how do those eyes and saugers taste over that way? water temp make a huge difference or just a little difference? thanks

Very tastey, haven't had one that tasted bad yet. I took some in to my office on Thursday and fried up a couple of pounds. All the co-workers that had it loved it. Those were all Croix and Sippi eyes. Water temp today was 73 degrees.
