Saginaw Bay

[Fishing Report]

On the west side, walleye action seems concentrated in 23 to 25 feet of water just north of the Black Hole. Most are using the end of Erickson Road and Coggins Road for access, but it is still a good 3 to 5 mile run to get out to the fishing grounds. Anglers need to pay close attention and watch for a section of open water located about 2 miles off Erickson Road. The section of open water is about 30 feet wide and half a mile long. Walleye were taken in 17 feet of water off the Pinconning Bar. A few nice perch were taken out by Spoils Island. Walleye and pike have been caught near the Hot Ponds. On the east side, those going out about 5 miles or so off Thomas Road have caught walleye in 14 to 23 feet of water. At Sebewaing, a few pike were speared in the marina. At Mud Creek, perch success has been spotty. Most anglers were getting 6 to 8 perch per trip, but a few guys took limits. Just keep moving until you find an active school of fish, and try to stay away from the crowd. Perch action has been slow in the harbor at Caseville.
