To make consistent catches of saugeye, it’s important to know their habits. Although they are similar to their relatives in many ways, they differ in at least a few. The fish will lay-up in deep water during the day (inactive) and, come twilight, fan out to forage in shallow water (active). It’s not unusual to catch them in just four feet of water or so during the night. However, come daylight, they start moving deeper and anglers will need to fish deeper. As a rule of thumb, they’ll be in deep water during the day if the lake is clean and be a bit shallower if it’s murky.
