7/31/18, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

[Trophy Specialist]

 

We closed out July in style with easy limits for my clients from Midland, MI and Missouri. We fished a different area than we fished yesterday and found a lot of active fish there, although the bite was a bit sporadic. We made one, long trolling pass in one direction covering perhaps five miles of water. The bite started off very good, then died down some when the wind went dead calm, then they eventually started biting again, but it was more a a steady pick at that point. When a breeze finally did come up towards the end of our efforts, the bite also picked up steam with some bigger fish coming to the net then too. We did try cranks today, but only caught one fish on the one line I dedicated to that presentation all morning. Meat was working good though with no particular color shinning as everything in the water got hit periodically. Our trolling speed was about 1.7 mph today. We also caught one northern pike today and that sucker managed to sink his teeth into my thumb me to bleed profusely for 10 minutes. minutes. We are coming up on some of the best fishing of the season out of Au Gres during August and we still have plenty of open dates left if you want to enjoy this incredible fishing up close and personal.
