cheap limits

au gres 24 fish limit 7-5 Just want to start this post by thanking captain Mike Viene for his information at dock this morning. I found myself on the wrong side of the lake this morning but it did not matter cause the walleye fishing is RED HOTTT EVERYWHERE. Stayed in Tawas city Tuesday night for the 4th since one of my good friends did the fireworks show and had extra cabins rented for the week. We made a 10 mile run out of the au gres river to the south where we set up in 28 to 32 fow dragging 3 oz bouncers 50 to 65 off the boards at 1.4 to 1.6 blue and white harnesses seemed to be the best. h Had a good mix of eaters and also a handful of nice 4 to 5 pounders. This Is the first time that I've fished au gres in 5 or six years and I was not disappointed. A lot of boats in the area that we were fishing and we also marked a ton of fish in the bottom 7 fow with lots of bait clouds as well. Back to the east side for the rest of the trolling season I will be caseville to grindstone I'll keep everyone pposted.

there is good fish at hat reef west of pt.Austin

Caseville 7-2 two boat liimt Dropped lines this morning at 630 out of caseville on the same marks from yesterday and put 48 very very nice walleye for two boats and were back to dock at 11 just before the wind really kicked up. Kept all 17 to 26 inch fish between the two boats threw a lot of 13 to 16 inch fish back in to the water to let em grow. I absolutely love when the walleye fishing gets this good. We ran the same program as yesterday with big bouncers pulling the fish off the bottom. Had a big walleye puke smelt all over my boat today which was nice to see. The fishing will remain good in this area and all the way to grindstone city for the next month.I'm planning a trip to big charity and grindstone and tawas over the next several days I'll keep everyone informed on how we do.

Caseville 7-1 Dropped lines this morning at 7 am in 30 fow out of caseville and were back in to dock at 10 with a 16 fish limit of very nice walleye. It didnt take long for the waves to reach 3 to 4 footers and on top of that the net was not in the boat which made things very interesting. Flipping 14 to 17 inch fish in to the boat is no big deal but when every fish is 4 to 7 plus pounds it becomes very difficult but we managed it'd safe to say we lost more fish than usual. Here's the program trolling 1.1 to 1.8 with the waves running three oz bouncers 50 to 60 foot off the boards pink and white was the ticket. I'll either be in caseville or pt Austin in the morning happy 4th of July weekend.

sweet the entire inner bay is still red hot but it's that time of year that I move deep and Chase the big girls

fished in between caseville and pt.Austin very early Sunday and Monday mornings. Sunday we dropped lines at 545 am and pulled lines at 10 with 17 big walleye from 5 to 9 pounds would have loved to stay and fish our 3 man limit but we all had father day plans. Monday dropped lines at 545 again straight out from pt.Austin bteakwall hit the marks from Sunday picked up 6 right away then nothing.Made a 6 mile run towards caseville and set up in 35 fow out from a big reef system and boxed 18 big walleye for our 24 fish limit and was back to dock at 11. We fished anywhere from 17 to 45 fow running crawlers on the bottom and reef runners 40 to 70 off the boards.Our down rods were 2 and 3 colors of leadcore with harnesses and we could not keep them in the water. Big walleye was 9.3 pounds we also landed and released a 19 pound lake trout everything trolled slow at 1.2 to 1.4.

very very nice the bay is hot getting ready to moved my rig to caseville for the second half of summer to chase big walleye

Fished out of sebewaing yesterday straight out from the last buoys in 13 to 16 fow trolling a mix of hot n tots and harnesses. We picked up a 24 fish limit of some very chunky walleye. It started off kinda slow just picking up a few fish to start with until we hit a big weed bed with some good structure about a mile north of the buoys. The action really picked up with several doubles and triples I set a mark we made two short passes and were done. Here's what worked blue and silver black and silver and green and silver tots 30 to 45 off the boards.Firetiger and blueberry muffin harnesses with 1.5 oz bouncers 25 to 40 off the boards everything ran at 1.7 to 1.9 water temp of 70.

BAY IS ON FIRE Saginaw bay is absolutely on fire right now and fast limits are common. We dropped lines this morning at 730 on the bar in 14 to 16 fow straight out of Thomas marina. We were back in with a 24 fish limit by noon we released a dozen 14 to 17 inch walleye keeping all 18 to 25 inch fish for a very nice cooler full we also had two big perch. We trolled a little faster today to keep the farm animals off the lines. We ran 1.5 oz bouncers 35 to 45 off the boards at 1.6 to 1.8. any color harnesses. Lots of buddies in same area many boats limited before it got windy very very very good fishing.

bay 6-2 6-3 Fished Friday and today with two gentleman in wheelchairs and just destroyed the fish. Launched the boat at bayshore marina in bay port Friday morning and headed out to the sand point buoys which goes from 20 fow to 5 fow in a quarter mile. That deep slot was just packed with walleyes in the good eating category, 14 to 20 Inchers.We boxed a 3 man limit both days in short order. These guys just had a blast and can't wait to go again which will be very soon. We landed over 40 keepers each day releasing anything under 14 inches and yes there were many many fish under 14 inches. Ran crawlers on the bottom at 1.3 to 1.7 any color harness.

Nice job on the eyes mike I know u sometimes cross the bay to my side and fish the slot just wanted to let u know the action couldn't get any more fast or

slot 5-28 Dropped lines at 730 this morning and was back to dock with a two man limit of very good eating walleyes at 940. Fished the same general area just a little north of the GPS marks from yesterday. Here's what worked 1.5 oz bouncers 35 to 40 off the boards at 1.3 to 1.6 just about any color harness u got. Best depth seemed to be 18 feet.

slot 5-27 Dropped lines at 10 this morning was back to dock at 1215 with nice two man limit of eyes. We fished 18 fow in the slot straihht out from sunset bay marina. WE ran 1.5 oz bouncers 40 off the boards at 1.4 to 1.6 mph just about any color harnesss. No junk fish at all which was nice but about 200 boats.

I'm moving to the south end of the slot next trip

slower day on the bay dropped lines at 1 this afternoon out of qsea in 4 to 8 fow first thing I noticed is that the water had cleared up a lot which in not good in very shallow water. It was slow till we finally found some stained water picking up 14 nice eyes 4 of which were over 23 inches two big northerns and three big perch. We were going to pick up and head to the slot but the wind switched and kicked up so we just pulled lines at 6 and headed in. All fish we're csught in 4 to 6 fow just west of the buoys best color was firetiger couldn't go any slower than 1.7 forgot the drift sock

I will be back on the water Saturday

It was very fast action couldn't get more than 3 boards out the whole time. We were all the way down to 2.5 fow at one point the eyes are very aggressive right now never fished over 5.5 fow

very skinny water 5-15 Took my 4 year old daughter, my friend Johnny who is in a wheelchair and his friend Steve out Monday afternoon. Johnny has a 23 foot pro-line the just got a 2018 evinrude 225 etech on it in March and has never been in the water. We launched in bay port cause that's where they live trolled wildfowl bay for a couple hours not even a hit. Had a group discussion and made a 26 mile run to Finn rd where I have been doing very well, he wanted to run that New motor anyway. Got set up in 3.5 to 5.5 for inside the mud line at 4pm. Put 29 walleye two big northerns and three jumbo perch in the box, pulled lines at 730 and made the long run home. Here is what worked 3 quarter oz bouncers 18 off the boards at 1.8 to 2.2 wind kicked up and his boat would not troll any slower which turned out to be ok. ANY COLOR HARNESS

the morning bite is best we hit 16 agiain this morning from 615 to 830 action was fast any color harness

16 fish limit SHALLOW fishe 7 to 8 fow in between Finn rd and the qsea river. Trolled at 1.3 to 1.5 with 3 quarter oz bouncers 12 to 14 off the boards. Best Colors were wonderbread, firetiger, and pink with white. Also had two big perch and a 26 inch northern.

saginaw bay is heating up This will be a very good weekend to be on the bay. The fish are pouring out of the rivers and are very hungry, the crawler harness bite is in full swing with water temps pushing 60 degrees. Here are some spots that have been hot over the last week for us the dumping grounds west of the Saginaw river channel trolling crawlers 12 to 17 fow, jigging off the Rocks at spoils island, trolling shallow water 4 to 8 feet from Finn rd to qsea river. Have a great weekend I'll be on the water next 3 days can reach me on channel 68 if I'm in range.

slamfest trenton 4-14 fished Trenton yesterday got to Elizabeth park launch at 630 finally got lines wet at 830, what a cluster it was so many boats. It was well worth the wait in line boxed our 15 fish limit with 5 fish over 8 pounds and one 10.6 pounder. Hooked into a monster lake sturgeon that took us for an hour ride up and down the river before finally snapping my pole in half. Here's what worked 1 oz jigs tipped with lunker Finn S fish in blue and black ice.
