Jigging works for summer saugeye | Sandusky Register The Ohio Division of Wildlife had a good idea when they decided to start stocking saugeye into many Ohio lakes and reservoirs, this is for several reasons. One, these hybrids between a walleye and a sauger thrived in lakes with often murky water like Charles Mill near Mansfield where walleye would not do well. Two, given a lake with a good forage base of gizzard shad or plentiful panfish they grow with hybrid vigor sometimes going from fingerlings to husky fish of five pounds in just three years. Three, and this is the one that counts, they're just as good eating as their relatives, the walleye and sauger. Fry some fillets golden brown in a skillet of olive oil or canola oil an you'll reach for seconds and thirds.
