47 degrees on December 23rd is pretty good. 47 degrees at 1 am is great. So with the river as clear as glass and the toasty nighttime temp I headed to river after work, getting there about 1230. Maybe three casts in a small saug hit my grub. Then a bit later a better one that got off as it thrashed around at my feet. Then the weight of a good fish. A saugeye that measured right at the qualifying length for a Fish Ohio award. All hit it surprisingly shallow water just below a rock pile that stuck out of the water creating a pretty seam of current. After the last fish it began to rain a bit so I headed to the house damp and happy.
