Saugeye hitting at Buckeye

The fall saugeye bite seems to be under way at Buckeye. Bob Mathie at Bob's Outdoor Supply in Newark told me a customer named Kevin Zachariah reported catching a 5-pounder and a 7-pounder while fishing near the north shore ramp at Buckeye. He said same were hitting during the daytime, but the best action was coming in the evening.
He reported using 3-inch grubs, but anglers are also catching fish on other lures, especially Husky Jerks, Rogues and shallow Shad Raps.
Some saugeye are reported being caught below Dillon as well, but I haven't heard any details.
As for bass fishing, the best report I've heard was that Jim Foster and Dana Moran braved the wind Wednesday at Knox and boated 10 bass on crankbaits. Dana caught a couple in the 2- or 2 1/2-pound range and one that might have been about 3 pounds.
He was using a No. 5 Shad Rap, while Jim was using a No. 7 and didn't fare as well.
I'm hoping to get to Knox Sunday. So far, the weather report sounds favorable: Cloudy, warmer and some rain possible. As long as the wind doesn't blow too much, I'm happy.
