6/10/2014, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

[Trophy Specialist]

I have a family from Texas fishing with me Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday who had never fished Saginaw Bay before until today. We set lines with a two foot chop, which build into twos and threes pretty fast as the weatherman missed the mark on the wind forecast once again. The predicted 8-10 knot winds ended up blowing at about 15 knots. Never-the-less, the walleyes didn't seem to mind as they started hitting right away and never stopped attacking our lures until we pulled lines. We did one, long trolling pass, in one direction (southwest) this morning. That pass covered several miles of water and we caught fish all along that route which took us over varying depths. We trolled at 1.3 to 1.7 mph in the surging waves. Harness pattern did not matter as they hit everything about equally well. We caught fish today of all sizes from small ones to some dandy chunkers. At the end of the trip, when we only needed a couple fish, every line in the water hooked up with six fish on at once. It was a fitting end to a excellent day of fishing. The weather is iffy for tomorrow with predicted storms and strong Northeast winds, so we may not get out again until Thursday, but you never know with the weather.
