11-28 Bay Report

[FISHHEADS]

I'll try this a second time (the first report was abducted and taken to outer space- where the Walleye went this summer:grin:) Launched out of Patterson rd. (Saginaw rivermouth) tried the eastside first. 15 fow 1 fish pink glass Deep Husky Jerk size 10. Set back =65ft. speed =1.5 So that was our starting point. crossed the channel and head due west (15-17fow) trolled nnw 1.5-1.6 set our cranks a little deeper and it was game on! We were out a total of 4 hours got our 10 fish (that's fall fishing for you). Biggest ran about 4.5-5. smallest was in the 18-20" range. Folks, these fish ate good this summer they are fat. Best cranks were Deep HJ Pink Glass 85-100, Reef Runner Deep Little Ripper "Pink Lemonade" 90'. Out of our 10 fish these 2 lures took 6. We ran everything right on the bottom (that was the key).Water was surprisingly clear considering the winds over the last week. 1.5-1.6 was the speed of the day. I'm going to make an early prediction that this years "Shiver on the River" winner will push 13 lbs. Last years winner was 11.3lbs. Like I said earlier, these fish ate real good up north this summer.

Sound like a great day Captain Tim.

Thanks Nailer. It was a great day. But it was cold. BRRRRRRRRRRRRR At least when you're ice fishing, you've got the protection of your shanty. Btw everyone, water temp was a consistent 35 degrees. Won't be long

Thanks guys, I needed that! This year was tough. Fishing was awesome but a little "hairy" during ice season (weather and ice couldn't make up its mind). Spring- mid summer was great (easy limits). Late summer till recently was tough to say the least. Nice to see these fish again.

Nice job guys. Cant wait to get on the walleye again next season on erie. That is if the DNRE dont screw up the limits to baddown there. We may end up on the bay next summer for june instead of erie.
