6/9/17, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

 

 

We fished the deepest water of the year on today's charter. We tried some suspended rigs, but all our hits kept coming off the spinner/crawlers close to bottom. We had to troll slow today too with speeds of 1.2 mph being best. The first area we fished this morning was pretty good for the first few hours, but then it really slowed down so we picked up and ran out a couple miles further out and set up on some promising fish marks on the sonar there. We then had good action for the last part of the charter and ended up keeping 31 nice walleyes up to 24 inches and also eight yellow perch in the 9-10 inch size range as a bonus catch. Lure color did not mater today with everything getting hit about equally. The weather today was a bit iffy with a 40% chance of rain and T-storms, but it ended up being a very pleasant day with light winds and even some sunshine too with near perfect temperatures too. Everyone on board certainly had a good time fishing today and they went home with enough fish filets to last a long time too.

Thanks for the report Mike.

Deep definitely seems to be the story.  This heat will sure drive them from the inner bay.

Great job Mike.
