4/17/15, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

We had an absolutely beautiful day today on the Bay and my customers amassed an impressive catch of dandy walleyes trolling close to port. We got into an intense bite right away, but after that flurry, we picked away at them all morning until my customers limited out. Most of our fish were on the big side today with the largest being 28" although we did loose one that was likely much bigger. In the sunny, calm conditions, we caught all of our fish off the Church Tackle Walleye Boards today and running them way out away from the boat was the ticket as the fish were obviously spooked by the boat in the clear, calm water. Our best bait was a Sour Grape Rouge, but we did also take fish on a variety of Husky Jerk Baits too in naked glass, blue/silver/orange, glass/purple/perch and Tennessee Shad. Speeds of 1.3 to 1.5 mph were best. This fishing is red/hot right now with a lot of big fish cruising in a post spawn, feeding mode. Dippers are getting smelt in the Au Gres area at night and the walleye are congregating there to feed on those smelt too. I have a lot of openings over the next couple weeks, so if you want to get in on this fantastic post spawn, smelt feast, fishing action, give me a shout and I'll set you up with some world class walleye fishing.
