5/1/15, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

May started off for us with a bang today with my four clients from Temperance and Lansing taking their limits of dandy walleyes. I first ran to where we had taken good catches the last couple days. We had a northwest wind to start off the day but we only had only fair action during that period. When the wind died down though I moved to the deeper water area where we closed out our day yesterday during that calm wind spell and we got into some fast paced action with five fish on at one time. That action died down though when the east wind came up, but we still picked away at the walleyes until my customers had maxed out. Our fish today consisted of mostly bigger walleyes with just a few just under 20 inches. Our biggest was about 26". The catch filled up two five gallon buckets. Most of the walleyes were actively spawning males, but one pree-spawn female and one was a post spawn lady added to the catch. Trolling speeds in the 1.5 to 1.6 mph range were best with no particular spinner/crawler pattern being preferred. We caught all the fish on or near bottom. This is some awesome fishing going on now and I still have an opening on Tuesday, May 5 if you want to get in on this action.
