saginaw bay 3-6-17

tried fished Saginaw river in bay city on Monday and water was very muddy and very fast. We were prepared for this as We brought our trolling gear with us. Headed 4 miles NW out of river to some GPS marks from this time  last year in 16 to 20 fow and started trolling husky jerks. Didn't have all the boards out before the first one went off which was a 17 pound lake trout. We landed 1 laker and 14 eyes before we got blown off the water. Trolled deep husky jerks at 1.0 mph anywhere from 35 to 70 off the boards. Good colors were bloody nose wonderbread glass perch and pink clown.

Wow, a Laker that deep in the bay?  I've heard such tales, but never saw one.

Great job Luke.

happens a lot while the water is cold last year in March and April we caught steelhead Brown's and Lakers on these same GPS marks.Had a buddy catch an Atlantic out there last week. They all come into the bay in good numbers every winter.
