6/26/2014, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

[Trophy Specialist]

We certainly had an aggressive walleye bite this morning. After having a couple days off the water, we headed out today and were greeted by calm wind and flat water and partly sunny skies. It was a beautiful morning on the Bay indeed. We set down just a few miles out and began marking a lot of fish while I set lines. The action was fast an furious from the start and picked up in intensity as the morning went on. I had to trim down my trolling spread to just a few rods as any more was not necessary. The fish were biting good with many swallowing the lures completely and very few fish were lost too with the aggressive bite. We limited out with a nice catch of eating sized walleyes very quickly. All our fish came on bottom bouncers trailing crawler harnesses fished near bottom in 31-32 feet of water. No spinner pattern was preferred as they hit everything I put near their mouths. I trolled at about 1.3 - 1.5 mph in one, short trolling run heading south. I know of good fishing from one end of the Bay to the other right now. The fish are so numerous here now that it is likely the best fishing we have ever had on Saginaw Bay with widespread, easy limits from hundreds, if not thousands of locations. The good-old-days are now on the Bay. Also, I just got a cancelation on July 6 which is a rare weekend opening during prime time.
