6/14 and 6/15, 2015, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

I had a group from Pennsylvania fishing with me both yesterday and today and they got to experience some world class walleye fishing for sure. Yesterday we had storms rolling though the area all morning, so we were patient and waited them out and didn't hit the water until the threat of storms had past. We headed out at 1:00 p.m. and went out to where we had caught scattered fish on the 13th in deeper water. We started catching fish right away and in about 3 hours of fishing my clients had caught their limits of nice walleyes with most in the 17" to 20" size range, but with a few smaller and several that were bigger chunkers too. We caught the fish on spinner/crawler rigs fished on the bottom, just off bottom and about half way down. Speeds of 1.5 to 1.6 mph were best and the bite was neutral with some of the fish hitting light and others hitting aggressively. Color or pattern did not mater as they hit everything I threw at them. It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon on the Bay with calm conditions and temps in the mid-70s. Today we went right back out to the same area, set lines and trolled southward. We again started getting hits right away and the non-stop action continued until my four PA clients again took their limits of fine walleyes. I ran the same program as yesterday with the outside boards pulling spinners right on the bottom, the middle boards presenting spinners about 3' off bottom and the inside boards set about half way down. The two flat lines were set on the bottom too. All rigs took about equal hits as the fish were all over the water column and very aggressive today. Speeds of 1.5 to 1.7 mph worked well today and color patterns were not important as they hit everything I had down in the water equally. The fish were about the same size today as yesterday with a nice mix of sizes in the box. We caught about a half dozen undersized walleyes each day too, which bodes well for the future on the Bay. Today we trolled south for about four miles and never ran out of the fish. In fact, I did not have a chance to turn around once on that troll as we had non-stop action all the time. My PA clients will have a lot of fish-fries in their futures and my wife and I will also be having fresh fish today too. You gota love this fantastic fishery we enjoy out of Au Gres on Saginaw Bay.
