- Pick any port
around the bay for excellent walleye fishing! Fish the vicinity of
the Black Hole, the Spark Plug, Callahan Reef, off Jones Road, and
the Slot from about 4 miles north of Quanicassee all the way up to
the tip of Sand Point. They're also taking fish off the Bar on the
west side of the Slot. Fish a variety of depths but in some area anglers
need to fish in a minimum depth of 10 feet. From Bay Port and At Bay Port - fish the Slot outside Heisterman and North Islands northeast to the tip of Sand Point. |
|
| Jun-26-08
- Walleye action is good just about
everywhere using crawler harnesses. At Linwood - head toward the middle of the Bay. At Bay City - Walleye is good around the Spark Plug. At Quanicassee - Catch rates slowed in the Slot, but fish are still being caught. |

fow. Lots of small fish today some as small as 8" -12".

- Walleye fishing
has been excellent all over the bay. Lots of fish were taken near
Buoys 1 & 2, around the Spark Plug, off the Bay City State Park,
the Callahan Reef, Quanicassee, and in the slot from Fish Point to
Sand Point. At Linwood - Walleyes are being taken in waters 5-18 feet deep and getting decent results with when using a variety of colored spoons or various body baits At Bay City - Walleyes are being taken on crawler harnesses and Hot-N-Tots, as well as trolling with mini disks and a trailing spoon. At Bay Port - Fishing has been been idled due to extreme windy conditions. When anglers can get out on the waters the fishing is very good for walleye and catfish. |
|
| Jun-18-08 - Field Reporter Terry T's Report - The bite has been hot untill the weather has kept us off the bay. The North Island slot area has been great took 2 fish over 24 inches, fishing with two lines- off Thomas Rd Sunday morning 5 fish by 11am -1&2 bouy has been real good-trying different things-mini disk with small spoons has been fun - Next week Caseville all week weather permitting. | |

- Field Reporter Paul Smith's
Report - My
buddy Chris and his son Lucas celebrated Father's Day fishin' on Saginaw
Bay with me. They were forecasting 1 - 3' waves with 5 -15 mph winds
out of the SW so I decided to launch at Linwood Beach Marina and fish
the lee side of the Bay. We set lines at about 8:30 am and headed
in with our 3-man limit around 11:30 am. We ran spoons and Hot-n-Tots
about 35 - 45' back off tethered boards. The spoons were pulled behind
#30 Jet
Divers. We started picking up fish right away on 1/4oz Hot-n-Tots,
Gold/Black and Purple/Chartreuse. But throughout the day the spoons
outfished the Tot's at least 2 to 1. Hot color for the spoons, Stinger
Scorpion was Kervorkian Gold. We had probably about another limit
(15) of throwbacks (undersize), which was good to see as we haven't
been catching many small ones so far this year. We fished the 18 -
21 fow, 2 - 4 mi east of LBM, trolling speed was around 2 knots. This
was the first time using the Jet
Divers instead of the mini-discs, most times the divers surfaced
even with only small fish and you got to fight the fish more rather
than the diving apparatus, which was a plus in my book. |

- Excellent walleye fishing out near the Spark Plug
and the Callahan Reef. Most are using harnesses, but some are starting
to use Hot-n-Tots.
Anything with silver is working. At Linwood - Good success with walleye in waters up to 17 feet. Bottom bouncers are working well also crawler harnesses. At Bay City - Walleyes are hitting on just about every thing this week. Running spoons on mini divers as well as crawler harnesses. At Bay Port - Walleye action is good near the North Island on crawlers and Hot-N-Tots. At Quanicassee - Excellent walleye fishing was reported in the Slot up to Bay Port in 12 to 15 feet of water. |

- Walleye fishing
remains excellent in many locations. Crawler harnesses trolled off
planer boards seem to be the rig of choice at all of these locations.
At Linwood - Fish in 14 to 19 feet of water northeast of the Spark Plug Try using a crawler harness or bottom bouncer. At Bay City - Fish near the Callahan Reef using crawlers. The carp are moving in close to shore, providing bow anglers with a few opportunities. At Bay Port - Walleye fishing is good near Sand Point and North Island. At Quanicassee - Fish the slot north to Fish Point |
|
| Jun-01-08 - Field Reporter Paul Smith's Report - It was a beautiful day on Saginaw Bay, warm, sunny, and calm. We began setting lines near the "Plug" about 11:30 am and had our 3-man limit by 4:30 pm. The fish ran a bit bigger this trip, than last with many in the 3 - 4 lb range and topped off by one over 5 lbs. We did however toss our first and only undersize fish of the year back. The Tots seemed to do better for us than other presentations although we caught a few on spoons. Color didn't seem to matter much, as we took fish on about everything we put down. Fish appeared to be hugging the bottom so we trolled our lures at about 17 - 18' in around 20 - 22 fow. | Click

Report - Buddy,
Mark took his boat out for the first time this year Greg, Matt, and
I went along for the ride. Started fishin' about 11 am, messed around
in shallow water about 4 mi out of Quanicasee for about an hour as
a boat came in while we were launching with a two-man limit from that
morning fishing 10 - 11 fow in that area. No luck there running meat
and Tot's so we picked up and went out east of the Spark Plug where
we began catching fish in 20 - 22' fow on 1/4 oz Tot's and spoons
behind mini-discs run 50 to 60' behind boards. Gold /black back was
the hot color with the Tot's and a pink/chartreuse color (I don't
know the name) and a Confusion colored Scorpion were our hot spoons.
Matt started the day landing a nice Pike (37") on a spoon. The
action was pretty steady for a few hours until the front started moving
in and the wind began picking up. We decided to go in at about 4 pm
with 15 walleye ranging from 15.5" to 23" as they were forecasting
storms later that evening. Surface water temps were right around 56.5
degrees and it was warm and calm most of the day. A great day to be
on the water. |

|
| May-15-08 - Field
Reporter Paul Smith's Report - First
trip to the Bay in 2008. My buddy Blue and his son fished Saturday
the 10th and caught their two-man limit pullin' Deep Jr.Thundersticks
and Tots (silvers and golds). So we headed back up to give 'em a try on the 13th, we stuck with the same program, pullin' cranks in 8 - 10 fow east of the shipping channel, 30 - 35' back off in-line boards. Fishin' for us was slow to say the least, the wind shift from N - NE (on-shore on the 10th) to S - SE (off-shore on the13th) may have had something to do with it. We had to quit about noon due to prior commitments so we didn't really have time to do a lot of wide range searching. We ran into 4 guys at the launch that had limited out deeper (in 15 - 18 fow) dragging meat behind 1.75 oz weights and using large thumper bladed harnesses. We ended up with 2 walleyes 18" and 19" plump fish for our efforts. It was great to be back out fishing walleye on the Bay again even
if we didn't tear 'em up. |

- A buddy and I fished the Bay this
morning from 7:30 am til 11:30 am. Trolled mini-diver/scorpions behind
boards a few feet from the bottom. Took a 2-man limit with 3 fish
over 20" with he biggest at a little over 23.5". The fish
averaged a little better today than on previous trips with only a

| Jun-30-2007 - Saginaw Bay - Field Reporter Paul Smith's Report - Two friends and I hit the Saginaw Bay for the first time since the 16th, the weatherman's nearly calm forecast was 3 footer's for a while, but I've learned to expect that on the Bay anytime the wind is from a Northerly direction. Started trolling cranks and spoons in the area of the "Spark Plug." Since the spoons were the only baits producing we switched to all Scorpions trolled behind Mini-Divers 50 - 60' off boards after the first hour. The hot color was "Monkey Puke," spoons with Blue, and Blue/Purple combo's also produced well. A lot of throwbacks today almost twice as many undersize as keepers. Took us almost 5 hr. to sort through all the dinks for our 3-man-limit. Fish are ranging 15.5 - 22" on an average. Still a lot of fun a some good eating. | Click

- Saginaw Bay - Field
Reporter Paul Smith's Report - Friday the 15th. started about 8:30 am and limited by about 2:30 pm. Trolled 1/4 oz Tots off in-line boards (forgot my big boards, just brought the mast, I blame that on "Old Timers" disease). Hot color was silver / blue herring bone from 70' - 80' back about 2 mph. On Saturday the 16th ( remembered the boards today), wind came up in the morning giving us 2' -3'+ waves, making boat control a problem until it laid down just before noon. Fishing was real slow for us only had 5 keeper fish in the box by 2 pm, then one of our buddies called and said they had just picked up a few on spoons, so we dropped in a couple of Stinger Scorpions behind mini-discs 60' - 70' back and they started out doing the Tots by about 6 to 1. We dropped in two more lines with Scorpions and landed many walleye in the next few hours including 9 keepers, were running 2 - 2.5 mph. We ended the day with one shy of a 3 man limit at 5 pm, as it was smokin' hot out there and we ran out of liquid refreshments and even drank up all the water we had aboard. All our fishin' was within a 2 mile radius of the first "Spark
Plug" and the keepers were about 16" to 22" averaging
around 18", great eatin' size. |
